Interest remains: Dortmund keeping tabs on Franculino | OneFootball

Although a new striker, Fabio Silva, was only signed at the end of August, there is speculation surrounding Borussia Dortmund that another forward could be brought in during the winter. This is not least because, after his injury break, Silva has so far evidently not been seen as a full-fledged alternative by coach Niko Kovac, and because last year's reliable goal scorer Serhou Guirassy is currently struggling.

The Brazilian Giovane from Hellas Verona is already being discussed more concretely as a possible reinforcement for the attack, although the current transfer fee of around 30 million euros being demanded is likely to be a deal-breaker. BVB is also said to have Viktor Dadason from FC Copenhagen in their sights, but at just 17 years old, he is still at the very beginning of his career and would be more of a transfer for the future rather than an immediate help.

And time and again, Franculino from FC Midtjylland is mentioned in connection with BVB, who was reportedly scouted as early as spring 2024. The striker from Guinea-Bissau has scored 14 goals and provided three assists in 14 appearances in the current Danish Superliga season, and has also scored three times in four matches during the Europa League group stage.

Interest from all top leagues

Sooner or later, with this record, the 21-year-old will not be able to stay in Denmark, but will end up in one of the top leagues. There is no shortage of interested parties, unsurprisingly from the Premier League, but in addition to clubs from England, Italy, and France, FC Bayern Munich is also said to have the 1.86-meter-tall center forward on their radar.

At Midtjylland's 3-1 victory last week in the Europa League against Celtic Glasgow, to which Franculino contributed a goal, representatives from BVB were also reportedly present in the stadium, according to the portal "campo.dk", to take another close look at the attacking gem. Whether the obvious interest will become more concrete remains to be seen.
