All set – Cole Campbell on the verge of joining SV Elversberg | OneFootball

Further new signings are still taking their time, but Borussia Dortmund is in all likelihood set to announce another departure in the coming days. Cole Campbell’s move to SV Elversberg, which has been on the cards for quite some time, is close to being finalized.

After TSG Hoffenheim decided not to make Campbell’s loan from the second half of last season permanent by triggering the purchase option, and with interest from Celtic Glasgow also having emerged in the meantime, it had already become apparent recently that the American would be heading to SV Elversberg, a club that has built a reputation in recent years as an excellent development destination for top talents.

And as Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg is now reporting, Campbell’s move to the Bundesliga newcomers from Saarland is virtually a done deal. Campbell is expected to complete his medical in Elversberg later this week and then sign a contract until 2030.

BVB secure a buy-back clause

No details have yet emerged regarding the transfer fee. However, Elversberg will certainly pay far less for the winger than the more than seven million euros Hoffenheim would have had to put on the table had they activated the purchase option.

BVB are not letting go of Campbell entirely, though. Just a year ago, he was considered a highly promising talent who was also believed capable of making the breakthrough in Dortmund. As part of the transfer, BVB have secured a buy-back clause and could therefore re-sign Campbell if he develops very positively, presumably for a manageable premium compared to the fee now being paid.
