BVB face losing Nick Cherny, several clubs show interest | OneFootball

During the spectacular 5-3 victory at the reserve team of 1. FC Köln on Saturday, Nick Cherny was allowed to start for Borussia Dortmund’s second team for the first time this season. The 18-year-old midfielder had missed the first weeks of the season due to injury and had recently been working his way back step by step. Now, not only is there hope for more playing time, but a decision about his future is also on the horizon.

Cherny, who was signed from the youth ranks of Arminia Bielefeld in the summer of 2023 and is still eligible to play for BVB’s U19s, currently only has a contract until the end of the current season. According to “Ruhr24”, Dortmund’s management is already trying to extend his contract, but so far they have not been able to offer the 18-time youth international a concrete sporting perspective.

Interest from the First and Second Divisions

Because Cherny, who has been available again since mid-September after a bone edema, had only made five mostly brief substitute appearances before his starting debut in Cologne, and is unlikely to be satisfied with his current playing time, a departure in the summer is considered quite possible.

This is especially true since, according to “Ruhr24”, several clubs from the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga are said to have expressed interest. A decision has not yet been made and could still take some time, but if Cherny has to return to the bench in the coming weeks and is only used as a substitute again, the Bielefeld native is likely to consider the other options more seriously.
