Mega deal for El Mala? BVB reportedly plot clever transfer plan | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund are reportedly working on a spectacular offer for Said El Mala. To sign Cologne’s top talent, BVB could reportedly include loan players in the deal in addition to a hefty transfer fee.

Said El Mala’s future remains one of the most exciting transfer stories of this summer. Now, signs are mounting that Borussia Dortmund are preparing an unusual move to sign 1. FC Köln’s top talent. As reported by Express, BVB’s decision-makers are working on a creative overall package to bring the 19-year-old to Dortmund. According to the report, a fixed transfer fee of €30 million is on the table.

Performance-related bonus payments could increase the total by a further €5 million. In addition, Cologne are also expected to receive a sell-on clause for any future transfer. Particularly interesting: Dortmund could also integrate two loan players into the deal. Left-back Almugera Kabar is being mentioned as a possible candidate. FC are said to see a need for reinforcement in that position, while BVB would be open to the 20-year-old leaving temporarily.

However, it is questionable whether such an offer would be enough. The attacking player is still under a long-term contract with FC until 2030 and has no release clause. According to media reports, the Cologne club are aiming for a fee of around €50 million.

How realistic is a BVB transfer for El Mala?

Besides Dortmund, other clubs are also reportedly interested in El Mala. According to Sport Bild, Tottenham Hotspur are also monitoring the striker’s development. However, no concrete offer from the English club has reportedly been made so far. One more factor could work in BVB’s favour. According to Express, El Mala’s family prefer him to stay in Germany.

There is also speculation that his brother Malek El Mala could play a role in a possible move. According to the report, a place with Dortmund’s U23 side would be conceivable. However, a major investment by the Black and Yellows could depend on the sale of Karim Adeyemi. Only then would the financial scope for a transfer of this magnitude increase significantly.

From a sporting perspective, El Mala would undoubtedly be an interesting addition for Borussia Dortmund. The versatile attacking player is considered one of Germany’s most promising talents. For now, however, these are still only rumours — whether they will actually lead to a move to BVB remains to be seen.
