Seven South American young stars Dortmund should keep tabs on

Lucas Ronier (19, RW, Coritiba):

The winger role is probably the most stacked position within Dortmund's ranks at the moment. Before the injury crisis, Sahin had Jamie Gittens, Karim Adeyemi, Julien Duranville, Donyell Malen, and the promising Cole Campbell at his disposal. A departure for the Dutchman could force the Black-and-Yellows to get back into the market for that position.

There are two fascinating options for wingers on this list. The first one comes from the south of Brazil in the form of Lucas Ronier. The 19-year-old is most known for his dribbling and ball-carrying abilities with his left foot, as well as his willingness to play either in the wing or the middle. The young prodigy is showcasing his talents in Serie B as one of the leading players for Coritiba.

Speaking of Coritiba, you might remember another name coming from the same training grounds, which has been developing finely in Europe in recent times. Igor Paixão came to Feyenoord from Coritiba in 2022 for eight million euros, and Ronier could be that next rising star. If Dortmund were to sign him, his current club expects a higher value than the one paid for Paixão, as some Brazilian sources suggest.
