The results haven't been favorable for Borussia Dortmund for some time, and the sports management of the German team has decided to end Nuri Sahin's tenure as coach. Consequently, it was announced in recent days that Niko Kovac would take over the bench at Signal Iduna Park as part of a sports revolution. However, the plan of the BVB's top management doesn't end there, as they are willing to have a strong presence next transfer market.
At Borussia Dortmund, they know that changes on the bench aren't enough, but they must be joined by significant modifications in the squad. Therefore, considering the latest results, from Germany, it is indicated that Niko Kovac has already conveyed to the club's technical secretariat the list of players he is interested in. Among them is a Barça star whose future is far from solved.
Key piece of the project
Before Niko Kovac's arrival on Dortmund's bench, one of the names considered in Germany was Erik Ten Hag. Although the Dutch coach didn't end up landing at Signal Iduna Park, he left as a firm alternative a Barça star who also convinces the current German coach. That is none other than Frenkie De Jong, for whom BVB has already inquired, knowing that his future is uncertain.
Aware of the quality of the player from the Netherlands, Borussia Dortmund would be willing to make a significant offer to convince both Frenkie and FC Barcelona. It should be noted that at Barça, they don't rule out any possibility of sale if the proposals meet economic expectations. Additionally, the Dutchman's contractual situation, which ends in 2026, could favor Borussia Dortmund in any operation.
Barça's move
According to the latest information circulating around the Catalan club, the FC Barcelona board doesn't want to risk losing Frenkie De Jong without receiving any income. Furthermore, the Dutchman's prominence in Hansi Flick's schemes isn't the same as in previous seasons. The German has often opted for players like Gavi, Pedri, or even Marc Casadó himself.
However, from Frenkie De Jong's camp, they continue to convey that the player's priority is to succeed at Barça. In light of this scenario, both Deco and Laporta have conveyed to the midfielder a new and final renewal offer considering his recent performances with the Barça jersey. In any case, if he doesn't accept Barça's proposal, Borussia Dortmund presents itself as a strong candidate to sign him.
