Chief scout to England? How close Krug is to leaving BVB | OneFootball

There is currently a lot going on at Borussia Dortmund. A few new players have just been signed, and the Black and Yellows are still looking for a new right-back.

Ole Book and Co. did their homework over the summer and have delivered quite well so far. The squad has been put together with young, fresh talent, but it also carries risks, because a young team naturally cannot guarantee complete consistency.

Behind the scenes, however, the rumor mill is buzzing over a possible departure of chief scout Sebastian Krug. There is particularly strong interest in him from England.

According to information from Sky, Newcastle United and Arsenal are both interested in Krug. The chief scout is highly valued internally, and his departure would definitely be a bitter blow for BVB.

Is Krug heading to England?

Krug enjoys an excellent reputation in the industry. For years, the Dortmund man has been regarded as one of the most renowned scouting experts in European football and has played a key role in numerous successful transfers. There have even reportedly already been talks with Arsenal.

Ole Book and Lars Ricken do not want to let the chief scout go, but the key question will be what the scout himself wants. An offer from England could be tempting, especially because the opportunities there are on another level.

It would also still need to be clarified exactly when a move for Krug could take place. Before things become truly concrete, quite a few uncertainties still need to be cleared up. In addition, the Black and Yellows would of course also need a replacement, because a chief scout cannot simply be replaced internally at short notice.

So there are still question marks over whether he will actually leave. But the interest from clubs in England is real and could become even more concrete—there is no doubt about that.
