Plane already waiting: BVB pull plug on transfer last minute | OneFootball

Shortly before the end of the transfer window, BVB have apparently changed their plans once again. A deal that was already well advanced collapses at the last second.

Borussia Dortmund have apparently made another last-minute change to their transfer plans on deadline day. Contrary to previous plans, Marcel Regula of Zaglebie Lubin will not be joining BVB. The negotiations for the 19-year-old attacking player had already been well advanced.

As the Polish sports portal Meczyki reports, Dortmund and Zaglebie Lubin had already reached a basic agreement on the terms of a transfer. The key contract details between BVB and Regula were also said to have been negotiated. Nevertheless, shortly before the end of the transfer window, the Black and Yellows decided against signing him. Sky also reports that both the player and his club were informed of the decision.

The reason for the surprising withdrawal is apparently Ethan Nwaneri. Borussia Dortmund are said to have been given the opportunity to loan the attacking player from Arsenal. As a result, those in charge changed their plans. Accordingly, the club does not intend to sign both Nwaneri and Regula. Particularly curious: according to reports from Poland, a plane had apparently already been prepared to bring Regula to Germany. The same aircraft is also said to have previously been used for the transfer of Giannis Konstantelias to Dortmund.

Transfer: BVB choose Nwaneri over Regula

Following the Greek player's serious injury, BVB had become active in the transfer market once again. Konstantelias suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in the Bundesliga opener against Hamburger SV (2:0) and will be out for several months. Nwaneri is now expected to fill the gap in Dortmund’s attack.

Regula had already been on BVB’s radar for several weeks. Head scout Bastian Schulz is said to have personally watched the Polish youngster during a league match at the beginning of August. The young player is still under contract with Zaglebie Lubin until 2028 and has already made 45 appearances in the Polish Ekstraklasa. In that time, he scored seven goals and set up six more.

1. FC Köln and Burnley FC were also recently mentioned as possible interested clubs. After Dortmund’s rejection, Regula will now have to look elsewhere for the next step in his career.
