BVB keeping an eye on the market – new striker not ruled out | OneFootball

Ahead of tonight’s home game on Tuesday evening, the striker line-up around Borussia Dortmund is causing excitement. Will Serhou Guirassy, who has been unlucky and goalless for weeks, get another chance to start? Or will Fabio Silva be given the opportunity to show what he can do from the beginning? Or could both even start together? Coach Niko Kovac did not want to reveal his plans in advance, but at Monday’s press conference he made no secret of the fact that things are not going as hoped offensively at the moment.

“We are missing five, six, seven goals that would look good on us,” Kovac openly addressed Guirassy’s drought, but at the same time expressed his confidence in last season’s reliable goal scorer: “There are such slumps, but we’ll get through this together. We focus on the positives and give him pointers on what he can do better. We do this every day, both when things were going well and now, when things are not going so well.”

Omar Marmoush not an option

Nevertheless, the BVB management is keeping a close eye on their own attack. Although signing another striker before the transfer deadline on February 2 is the last option for managing director Lars Ricken and sporting director Sebastian Kehl, according to Bild, this scenario is not ruled out.

In fact, BVB is closely monitoring the market and generally exploring the possibilities for a short-term purchase or even a loan. The recently rumored Omar Marmoush, who is not getting the playing time he hoped for at Manchester City, is not under consideration, not least because of a reported salary of 20 million euros per season.

Borussia would likely only take action if Ricken and Kehl came to the conclusion that another striker would be important to secure qualification for the Champions League. For now, developments will continue to be monitored. A win against Bremen, along with goals from Guirassy and/or Silva, would make an additional signing even less likely.
