Pole position for BVB: Kevin Schade back to Bundesliga? | OneFootball

His goal is to take part in this summer’s FIFA World Cup. Kevin Schade (24) of Brentford has a good chance of making national team coach Julian Nagelsmann’s (38) squad. After all, the left winger has been delivering strong performances in the Premier League for years.

It is possible that even more could happen in the life of the Potsdam native over the next few months. According to information from SportsBoom, Borussia Dortmund will make a renewed attempt to sign Schade next summer. BVB are said to be stepping up their long-standing interest in the Brentford player significantly.

There appears to be movement in the situation. The Bundesliga club is reportedly aiming to get the transfer wrapped up before the start of next season. The lines of communication between the clubs are apparently already busy. Initial talks about the winger’s future are said to have taken place behind the scenes.

Across all competitions, Schade has made 110 appearances for Brentford so far. He has scored 21 goals and provided nine assists. He has also been an undisputed regular this season. In the Premier League alone, he has played 32 times. His current tally stands at seven goals and four assists.

Brentford wanted Beier

Brentford are fully expecting offers for Schade. With Bayern Munich seemingly having pulled out of the race, BVB probably hold the strongest hand in the pursuit of the 24-year-old winger for a move next summer.

However, signing the five-time international is likely to require a major financial effort. Brentford are demanding a fee of more than €55 million. Dortmund would probably only be able to raise such an amount if fresh funds are first brought in through player sales of their own.

A potential deal is made even more intriguing by the history between the two clubs. The Bees were recently rebuffed by BVB despite offers of up to €50 million for Maximilian Beier (23). However, an obvious swap deal to make the Schade transfer happen is currently not under discussion.
