Farewell to Dortmund? Kobel gives clear response to transfer rumours | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund is experiencing turbulent days at their training camp in Marbella – both on and off the field. Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel speaks clearly about transfer rumors and his current situation at BVB.

At Borussia Dortmund's training camp in Marbella, it's not the ball but rather the weather that's currently the talk of the town. Heavy rainfalls and an official weather warning from the Spanish authorities even disrupted a team meeting for Dortmund – much to the amusement of goalkeeper Gregor Kobel.

When several phones suddenly went off simultaneously during the team meeting, it was clear: the weather was a priority. "It definitely interrupted our team meeting," Kobel later reported during a media round. The fact that mobile phones are usually off-limits during internal meetings was not forgotten. "One or two people got a stern look for having their phone with them," the 28-year-old said with a smile.

Despite the unusual circumstances, Kobel remains relaxed overall. After all, a training camp offers more than just sessions on the field. You spend more time together and operate "in a different setting," explained the Swiss national goalkeeper. He himself recently completed an individual program in the gym – a measure for load management.

Kobel in Top Form: BVB Keeper Once Again One of the Best in the Bundesliga

In terms of sports, Kobel has little reason to complain. After a mixed previous season, the keeper has been in strong form for months and, with several clean sheets, is one of the most consistent goalkeepers in the Bundesliga. Accordingly, his name frequently comes up in connection with potential transfer candidates at international top clubs.

Kobel, however, meets these speculations with calm. "I have a contract until 2028 and still feel very comfortable. Everything else is speculation," he clarified. He also consciously lets the daily rumor mill pass him by: "I'm not much of a newspaper reader," the goalkeeper emphasized.

The only small downside to the Andalusian winter for him is the lack of a holiday feeling. "I do miss the blue sky a bit," Kobel openly admitted. At least the weather forecasts promise improvement – and thus a bit more sunshine over BVB's training camp.
