BVB move only delayed? This top talent remains a hot topic | OneFootball

Because of the loan signing of Ethan Nwaneri, Borussia Dortmund called off another deal. But as early as winter, a young Pole could once again become a candidate for BVB.

Marcel Regula’s move to Borussia Dortmund did not go through on Deadline Day, but the matter is apparently not окончательно off the table. The 19-year-old Pole is still said to be on Dortmund’s radar and could become an option again as early as winter.

A transfer had actually seemed close to being completed. According to matching reports, BVB had already reached an agreement both with Regula and with his club Zaglebie Lubin. Polish sports journalist Mateusz Borek provided specific figures: according to him, a fixed fee of €5.5 million had been agreed. A further €2.5 million could have been added through relatively easy-to-achieve bonuses. In addition, Zaglebie were reportedly offered a ten percent sell-on clause.

The reason the deal still fell through was apparently Ethan Nwaneri. After Giannis Konstantelias suffered a serious knee injury, Dortmund began looking at short notice for reinforcements in attack. In the end, the Bundesliga club opted for a loan deal for the 19-year-old Arsenal talent. BVB are not believed to have a purchase option.

Transfer in winter? BVB still keeping an eye on Regula

That does not mean, however, that Regula has disappeared from Dortmund’s plans. According to Borek, those in charge around sporting director Ole Book want to continue closely monitoring his development in Poland. There are also said to be plans to invite the youngster, together with representatives of Zaglebie, to Dortmund for a meeting and a Champions League match.

By winter at the latest, the situation could therefore become relevant again. Nwaneri’s loan contract apparently plays a special role here. According to Sky, Arsenal are said to have the option to end the loan early in winter. If the Premier League club were to make use of this clause, Regula could once again become a serious alternative for BVB.

Whether the terms already negotiated would still stand at that point remains unclear, however. After the failed summer transfer, fresh talks with Zaglebie would probably be necessary. What does seem clear, on the other hand, is that Dortmund still have Regula in their sights despite the last-minute cancellation.
