As an alternative to Fisnik Asllani – BVB also eye Nick Woltemade | OneFootball

Nothing has been officially communicated so far, and because a decision could come relatively late given a release clause that only takes effect on July 1, it may still be some time before Serhou Guirassy’s future is clarified. It has, however, already leaked out that the center-forward wants to leave Borussia Dortmund if a suitable offer comes in. At the same time, discussions around possible replacements are in full swing at BVB.

At the top of the agenda in this context is TSG Hoffenheim’s Fisnik Asllani, whose performances so far this season have also attracted interest elsewhere. FC Barcelona, among others, are also said to be looking at the Kosovo international striker, who is available via a clause for a fixed fee in the region of €25 to €29 million.

With not only Barca but also wealthy Premier League clubs such as Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur said to have shown interest, and with Asllani by no means ruling out staying at Hoffenheim either, Dortmund’s decision-makers around new sporting director Ole Book would be well advised to have alternatives up their sleeve as well.

BVB monitoring the situation around Woltemade

Behind the scenes, BVB are also looking at other strikers, with names such as Nicolo Tresoldi (Club Brugge) and Matviy Ponomarenko (Dynamo Kyiv) being mentioned — both still very young forwards.

In Dortmund, however, they also appear to be considering a marquee solution. According to a report by BILD, BVB are keeping an eye on the situation of Nick Woltemade, who is no longer as firmly established at Newcastle United as he was in the autumn and could face new competition in the summer.

Woltemade is currently not thought to be considering a move, but after the World Cup at least nothing can be completely ruled out. Just one year after his €75 million move from VfB Stuttgart to England, the 24-year-old would, if at all, certainly not come cheap, meaning a loan deal would likely be the only realistic option for BVB.
