Plan B for El Mala? BVB enquire about Spain star | OneFootball

The transfer saga surrounding Said El Mala is dragging on — and Borussia Dortmund appear to be preparing for all scenarios. While negotiations with 1. FC Köln have recently stalled, BVB are seemingly already looking at possible alternatives for their attack.

According to transfer expert Matteo Moretto, Borussia Dortmund have registered their interest in Deportivo La Coruña’s Yeremay Hernández. The Black and Yellows are said to have already made contact and inquired about the framework for a possible transfer.

Yeremay back on Dortmund’s radar

The interest is not entirely new. The Spanish attacking player was already linked with BVB around a year ago. Now, the topic could be gaining momentum again.

The 23-year-old is most comfortable on the left wing and would therefore fit exactly the profile Dortmund are looking for in relation to El Mala. Last season, Yeremay played a key role in Deportivo La Coruña’s promotion. In 38 competitive appearances, the attacker contributed eleven goals and ten assists, making a strong case for a step up.

According to Moretto, however, Atalanta Bergamo and Sporting Lisbon are also closely monitoring the Spaniard’s situation.

Even so, a quick departure from La Coruña is currently far from certain. Yeremay is said to feel extremely comfortable at his hometown club and, as things stand, is not pushing for a move.

However, if a top European club offering the prospect of Champions League football were to come calling, the situation could change. Borussia Dortmund would meet those criteria.

A cheap transfer, however, is unlikely to be possible. Yeremay is still under contract with Deportivo until 2030, which puts the traditional Spanish club in a very comfortable negotiating position.

Meanwhile, the saga surrounding Said El Mala also remains unresolved. The fact that Köln have apparently already set their sights on Tottenham Hotspur’s Mikey Moore as their next attacking player does not necessarily have to indicate an imminent El Mala departure, according to current reports. Moore is reportedly more intended for the No. 10 role.

For Borussia Dortmund, that suggests a lot points to pursuing several options in parallel. Alongside Yeremay, Ibrahim Mbaye, Gilberto Mora and Ethan Nwaneri have recently also been mentioned as possible alternatives. Whether one of these candidates will actually move to BVB, or whether Dortmund can still complete the El Mala transfer after all, is likely to be decided in the coming weeks.
