BVB eye Serbian talent Vanja Dragojevic | OneFootball

With Aleksandar Stankovic from FC Brugge and Nathan De Cat from RSC Anderlecht, two currently Belgium-based talents who both play in central midfield have been linked with Borussia Dortmund in recent months. For this position, BVB is looking for reinforcements for the new season and now appears to have set its sights on another young player.

Since Salih Özcan’s expiring contract is unlikely to be extended and captain Emre Can is expected to be used primarily in the back three in the future, BVB wants to add a defensive midfielder who, ideally, fits the club’s philosophy and is both young and capable of development.

Vanja Dragojevic would fit this profile. He just turned 20 two weeks ago, but at Partizan Belgrade he is not only a regular starter but has even become captain. The path of this youngster, who was first called up to the Serbian national team last October but has yet to make an appearance, seems set for one of Europe’s top leagues.

SC Freiburg also among the interested parties

According to Italian journalist Lorenzo Lepore, SC Freiburg and Real Sociedad San Sebastian also have Dragojevic on their radar, but there is said to be especially concrete interest from Dortmund.

Dragojevic would be available despite a contract running until 2030, thanks to a release clause, which is reportedly set at a rather high 15 million euros. Partizan, however, does not want to let go of its homegrown jewel, who can also play in central defense, for less. It remains to be seen whether this topic will become current for BVB given this significant hurdle, especially since efforts to sign Dragojevic’s compatriot Stankovic are also ongoing and reportedly somewhat more advanced.
