Barca prospect on the radar? BVB interested in Tommy Marqués | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund’s transfer policy this summer is clearly heavily geared toward bringing in young players with great potential for development. With Joane Gadou (Red Bull Salzburg), Kauã Prates (Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte), Justin Lerma (Independiente del Valle), and Konstantinos Karetsas (KRC Genk), that may still not be the end of the line, nor with the ongoing topic of Said El Mala (1. FC Köln).

According to a report by Spanish outlet El Mundo Deportivo, BVB are also said to be interested in Tommy Marqués, whose already slim chances of getting anything close to regular playing time at FC Barcelona would become even slimmer with the likely imminent arrival of world and European champion Rodri.

The 19-year-old Marqués, who like Rodri is at home in central midfield, would reportedly be given the green light for a move, although Barca want to secure a buy-back option. There is no shortage of interest in the youngster. Manchester City in particular, who have to reshape things without Rodri, are said to be interested in Marqués, although at the English runners-up he would initially fall into the category of a player for the future. At fellow interested club Sporting Braga, however, Marqués could have the chance to step straight into a more important role.

BVB with good connections to Barcelona

Borussia Dortmund are said to have registered their interest in Marqués in any case. The fact that BVB have a good relationship with those in charge at FC Barcelona due to the not-too-distant and amicably conducted negotiations over Karim Adeyemi’s transfer to Catalonia is seen as a plus point for Dortmund.

Because there is also talk that BVB could still strengthen in the defensive midfield position and are said to be open to various models in this context, such as a loan deal, the trail leading to Marqués may be hotter than it first appears.
