Instead of Nwaneri or Sancho? BVB poised for surprise transfer | OneFootball

After Giannis Konstantelias’ serious injury, BVB are looking for short-term reinforcements. Now, a surprising candidate could be on his way to Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund could make another move in the market shortly before the end of the transfer window. After Giannis Konstantelias’ serious injury, BVB are reportedly searching for attacking reinforcements. A surprising solution is now emerging: Marcel Regula of Zagłębie Lubin is said to be on the verge of a move to Dortmund.

According to information from the Polish outlet Meczyki, Dortmund have already negotiated the key terms of a permanent transfer with the 19-year-old and his club. However, the deal has not yet been fully completed. BVB’s decision-makers reportedly want to explore other options first and then make a final decision. Regula and Zagłębie are currently waiting for the signal from Dortmund.

The fact that Borussia are looking into the Polish youth international is not really a surprise. Reports of Dortmund’s interest in Regula had already surfaced in early August. The attacking midfielder is also said to have recently received an offer from Burnley FC, but he reportedly did not favor a move to England.

Will BVB sign Marcel Regula?

The situation has taken on new urgency due to Konstantelias’ long-term absence. The Greek player, whom BVB had signed from PAOK Thessaloniki for €26 million, suffered a torn ACL in the 2-0 win over Hamburger SV. As a result, the 23-year-old is expected to be unavailable to Dortmund for several months.

Several prominent names had recently been mentioned as possible attacking alternatives. Among them was Arsenal talent Ethan Nwaneri. Jadon Sancho and Nick Woltemade have also been linked with BVB. However, the choice could now fall on the far less well-known option from Poland.

Regula’s history on the German transfer market is also interesting. 1. FC Cologne had already taken a close look at the talent. Regula was considered there as a possible replacement for Said El Mala if he were to leave the club. At that time, a possible transfer fee of around €8 million was being discussed for the Polish player. Whether Regula actually moves to Dortmund should be decided soon. If given the green light, the youngster could travel to Germany and undergo his medical at BVB.
