BVB eye January move, Marcel Regula still on the radar | OneFootball

The summer transfer window, at the end of which Borussia Dortmund responded to the serious injury suffered by newly arrived Giannis Konstantelias by bringing in Ethan Nwaneri on loan from Arsenal, ended less than a month ago. And yet, slowly but surely, the focus is already beginning to shift toward the winter, when there will be an opportunity to strengthen one area or another – including for BVB.

Borussia are reportedly still keeping an eye on Marcel Regula for January, having already been heavily linked with him in the summer. He was also discussed as a target for 1. FC Köln, but ultimately remained at Zaglebie Lubin, where he has scored two goals in the first nine matchdays of the Polish Ekstraklasa.

According to information from Bild, the 19-year-old attacking player, who is usually deployed as a No. 10 in Lubin but can also play on both wings and as a second striker, remains an option for BVB not least because of his versatility. In the summer, the move apparently only failed to happen because there was no further movement in terms of outgoing transfers, and Borussia therefore preferred the more budget-friendly loan deal for Nwaneri.

Contract in Lubin until 2028

Dortmund’s thoughts about making winter reinforcements are also driven by the fact that the squad is rather thin, especially out wide, following the unreplaced departure of Yan Couto (Como 1907). The fact that Julian Ryerson had to be substituted on Sunday during Norway’s 2-1 defeat to Portugal because of an injury issue was therefore noted in Dortmund with some concern.

Given that his contract runs until 2028, however, Regula — who has now been included in the senior Poland squad for the first time but is still waiting for his debut — would not be a bargain in January either. A transfer fee in the upper single-digit millions would still be on the table.
