Plan B for El Mala? BVB enquire about Spain star | OneFootball

The transfer saga surrounding Said El Mala continues — and Borussia Dortmund appears to be preparing for all possibilities. While negotiations with 1. FC Köln have recently stalled, BVB is apparently already looking into possible alternatives for the attack.

According to transfer expert Matteo Moretto, Borussia Dortmund have registered their interest in Yeremay Hernández of Deportivo La Coruña. The Black and Yellows are said to have already made contact and inquired about the framework for a possible transfer.

Yeremay back on Dortmund’s radar

The interest is not entirely new. The Spanish attacking player was already linked with BVB about a year ago. Now, the topic could be gaining momentum again.

The 23-year-old is most comfortable on the left wing and would therefore fit exactly the profile Dortmund are looking for in relation to El Mala. Last season, Yeremay played a key role in Deportivo La Coruña’s promotion. In 38 competitive appearances, the attacker contributed eleven goals and ten assists, putting himself forward for a step up.

According to Moretto, however, Atalanta Bergamo and Sporting Lisbon are also closely monitoring the Spaniard’s situation.

A quick departure from La Coruña is still not considered a given at this stage. Yeremay is said to feel extremely comfortable at his hometown club and, as things stand, is not pushing for a move.

However, if a top European club with the prospect of Champions League football comes calling, the situation could change. Borussia Dortmund would meet those requirements.

A cheap transfer is unlikely, though. Yeremay is still under contract with Deportivo until 2030, which puts the traditional Spanish club in a comfortable negotiating position.

Meanwhile, the saga surrounding Said El Mala also remains unresolved. The fact that Köln have apparently already set their sights on Tottenham Hotspur’s Mikey Moore as their next attacking player does not necessarily have to indicate an imminent El Mala departure, according to current reports. Moore is reportedly more intended for the number ten role.

For Borussia Dortmund, there is therefore a strong case for pursuing several options in parallel. In addition to Yeremay, Ibrahim Mbaye, Gilberto Mora, and Ethan Nwaneri have recently been mentioned as possible alternatives. Whether one of these candidates actually moves to BVB, or whether Dortmund can still complete the El Mala transfer, should become clear in the coming weeks.
