Borussia Dortmund, having faced the departure of key players in previous transfer windows, is determined to make a strong comeback in the upcoming summer transfer market. The general director, Hans-Joachim Watzke, revealed to Sport Bild that the club is planning significant moves. With Robert Lewandowski set to leave for Bayern Munich and ongoing rumors about the futures of Ilkay Gündogan and Marco Reus, Borussia Dortmund sees this as a crucial time for investment.
Watzke emphasized that the club is calm despite the departures and expressed confidence in finding a successor for Lewandowski. While keeping the investment amount confidential, Watzke assured fans that the club is prepared to make strategic moves. Although specific targets haven’t been officially disclosed, Sport Bild suggests Mario Mandzukic (27, Bayern Munich) and Edin Dzeko (27, Manchester City) are potential successors for Lewandowski.
In the event of Reus’ departure, Borussia Dortmund is reportedly considering Kevin Volland (21, Hoffenheim) and exploring the option of bringing back Shinji Kagawa (24), who has struggled at Manchester United. The club might also leverage Real Madrid’s interest in Gündogan for a possible exchange involving Sami Khedira (26), who is currently injured. Additionally, the defensive option of Matthias Ginter (19, Freiburg) is being considered. Borussia Dortmund aims to be a major player in the summer transfer market.
