Borussia Dortmund have yet to contact FC Porto over Pietuszewski | OneFootball

Oskar Pietuszewski was linked last Thursday with a possible transfer during the upcoming summer window. German outlet Fussballdaten reported that Borussia Dortmund were interested in signing the young player and could soon take “concrete steps” to move the deal forward.

According to the same publication, the German club, the current Bundesliga runners-up, had already begun contacts with the representatives of the 18-year-old footballer. The aim would be to learn about his “future plans and career goals”, as well as to present him with the plan outlined for his development.

However, newspaper O Jogo wrote this Friday that the board led by André Villas-Boas has so far received no contact or request for information regarding the forward. As such, the possibility of the player changing clubs is not, for now, on the table.

Release clause set at 60 million euros

Pietuszewski arrived at the Estádio do Dragão in January this year from Jagiellonia Bialystok in a deal valued at around ten million euros. The agreement also included bonuses tied to the achievement of certain objectives, although their exact amount was never disclosed.

The Polish club also retained the right to 10% of any future capital gain resulting from the player’s sale. Pietuszewski, for his part, initially signed a contract valid until 5 January 2029, the maximum term allowed by FIFA regulations for underage footballers.

After coming of age in May and helping the team coached by Italian manager Francesco Farioli win the national championship, the youngster renewed his deal with FC Porto. The new contract extended his stay until 30 June 2031 and kept the release clause at 60 million euros.
