Departures possible – only six BVB players are untouchable | OneFootball

With Niklas Süle, Julian Brandt and Salih Özcan, Borussia Dortmund have said goodbye to three players at the end of the 2025/26 season whose contracts expire on June 30. While Süle has ended his career, Brandt and Özcan are still searching for a new club. Meanwhile, further departures could still follow, as only a few players at BVB are considered unsellable.

After a season that was satisfactory in the Bundesliga but disappointing in the cup competitions, Dortmund’s decision-makers are generally open to offers from other clubs, as transfer income would also increase their own budget for reinforcements and a squad rebuild.

However, according to a report by BILD, there are also six players Dortmund definitely do not want to let go and who have been declared unsellable. Among them are Waldemar Anton, Felix Nmecha and Maximilian Beier, three players expected to be in Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann’s World Cup squad this Thursday. Along with goalkeeper Gregor Kobel, Jobe Bellingham, who only arrived last summer, and youngster Samuele Inacio, the three internationals are firmly planned as key pillars for the future.

Adeyemi and Ryerson two of several transfer candidates

As for all other players, the Dortmund management, led by sporting director Ole Book, would at least consider matters if other clubs were to come forward. This applies above all to Karim Adeyemi, who is not supposed to go into the new season with a contract that would then be nearing its expiry. But it also applies to Yan Couto, Ramy Bensebaini and Marcel Sabitzer, who are repeatedly mentioned as possible transfer candidates and would not be indispensable from a sporting perspective.

Serhou Guirassy would not be easy to replace, but Dortmund would also be open to talks regarding their star striker if a lucrative offer came in. The same applies to full-backs Daniel Svensson and Julian Ryerson, who are said to have a market in England and could possibly bring in high transfer fees.
