Cole Campbell to a Champions League club? Talks underway | OneFootball

In recent weeks, it has become quite clear that Cole Campbell no longer has the prospects at Borussia Dortmund that were still hoped for in the summer, and he sees his future elsewhere. After the 19-year-old had already expressed his desire for a transfer in the winter some time ago, it is now becoming apparent where his career path might lead next.

According to reports from Belgian newspaper “Het Laatste Nieuws,” Club Brugge has significantly intensified its efforts to sign Campbell. Talks between all parties are said to be already well advanced, and the Champions League participant is confident of reaching an agreement very soon with both Campbell himself and BVB.

Seven million euro transfer fee?

Although, due to Campbell’s contract with BVB running until 2028, a loan would also be possible, the negotiations are focused on a permanent transfer. It is clear that both Borussia and Campbell are keen to go their separate ways for good. This is not entirely surprising, as while BVB apparently no longer truly believes in the breakthrough of the attacking player at the absolute top level, Campbell is reportedly frustrated that promises made by Borussia during a failed summer transfer to VfB Stuttgart were not kept.

As in the summer, BVB is still demanding eight million euros for Campbell, but Brugge is not willing to pay that amount. A compromise sum of seven million euros is now being discussed.

Other clubs such as FC Midtjylland, with whom there has been some loose contact, as well as RSC Anderlecht and SV Elversberg, who are also said to have shown interest, seem to be missing out on Campbell.
