BVB set for transfer coup? Expert backs new striker | OneFootball

Before the transfer window closes, BVB could make another move. One transfer expert is convinced a new striker will arrive.

Borussia Dortmund could still stir things up in the final stretch of the transfer window. Although BVB have already invested heavily in their squad, transfer expert Florian Plettenberg believes another signing is likely. And it concerns the attack, of all areas. “I’m sure BVB will do something else. Ole Book will still bring in a striker,” Plettenberg said on Sport1’s talk show Doppelpass.

Dortmund still have until Deadline Day on September 1 to make moves in the transfer market. However, a signing for the attack will likely depend mainly on whether a striker leaves the club first. Fabio Silva is considered a possible departure. The Portuguese forward would apparently like to be in the starting lineup more often and left his future open after the Supercup defeat to Bayern Munich (1–2).

“I don’t know what will happen. Of course I want to start more games and help the team. […] If I said otherwise, I’d be lying,” said Silva. The 24-year-old has been linked with Trabzonspor, among others, but is said to prefer a move to Spain.

New BVB striker: Fisnik Asllani apparently still an option

Serhou Guirassy has also been linked with a departure. Most recently, there was speculation about possible interest from FC Barcelona. At the moment, however, more points to the striker staying in Dortmund. If a spot does open up up front, several names are already circulating. According to information from BILD, Fisnik Asllani of TSG Hoffenheim remains on Dortmund’s list. A possible transfer model being discussed is a loan including a subsequent obligation to buy. In addition, sporting director Ole Book already knows the forward from their time together at SV Elversberg.

Nick Woltemade has also recently been mentioned as a potential BVB candidate. However, signing the Newcastle striker could become significantly more complicated financially. Nicolo Tresoldi also emerged as another name for a time, although things have gone quiet around him recently.

For now, Dortmund’s focus apparently lies on a different position: BVB are working intensively on a move for Barcelona right-back Hector Fort. Only after that might it become clear whether a new striker will actually arrive in Dortmund.
