In the summer, Cole Campbell seemed on the verge of leaving Borussia Dortmund. VfB Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt, in particular, were reportedly interested in the USA junior national player before the season, but he ultimately stayed with Borussia Dortmund—or rather, had to stay because BVB blocked a transfer.
Reportedly, BVB could not reach an agreement on a transfer fee with VfB Stuttgart. While the Swabians allegedly offered four million euros, Dortmund's demand, according to a report by "Sport Bild," was at least double that. This is also because BVB officials are fundamentally convinced of the offensive player's potential and did not necessarily want to see his breakthrough at a Bundesliga rival.
Less than half a year later, Campbell has only two official appearances in the black and yellow jersey this season. The 19-year-old was substituted in mid-September during the final phase of a 2-0 victory at 1. FC Heidenheim. Additionally, Campbell played for the U23 at the end of October, contributing two assists in a 4-2 win at SV Rödinghausen. In between, there was a World Cup with the USA U20 that was only moderately successful, ending in a quarter-final exit against Morocco.
Campbell was at least able to take a seat on the bench for the BVB professionals against FC Villarreal (4-0) during the week after a long time, but the youngster is still highly dissatisfied. According to information from "Sky," Campbell has even internally expressed a clear desire to transfer in the winter. FC Brugge, RSC Anderlecht, and FC Midtjylland with former coach Mike Tulberg are said to be interested, as well as SV Elversberg.
Whether BVB is willing to let Campbell go entirely is questionable. However, the contract in Dortmund, which runs until 2028, would also allow for a loan.
