Revealed: why BVB are fully backing El Mala | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund are working intensively on bringing Said El Mala from 1. FC Köln to Dortmund. The club’s decision-makers want to submit the decisive offer shortly.

Alternatives were also discussed internally at BVB, but in the end they settled on El Mala fairly quickly. And for good reason, according to a report by Sport BILD.

The Black and Yellows’ decision-makers are weighing several factors when it comes to El Mala. Yes, the transfer fee required for him is high. At the same time, they are hoping for a rapid increase in his value.

DFB call-up expected to boost value

That could come, among other things, through a call-up to the German national team. Once El Mala establishes himself in the national side, his market value is sure to rise. Dortmund do not want to sell him quickly now, but they also know that El Mala has spoken highly of England in the past.

And that is exactly an essential point. A number of clubs from England are already said to be comparing El Mala with some top stars. His energy and dynamism reportedly remind one or two managers of Gareth Bale, even if the two players are different in terms of style.

Interest from England is unlikely to diminish either if the attacking player continues to deliver normal performances. And the top teams have plenty of money available to sign him. For BVB, that means ideally integrating El Mala could not only quickly improve their own style of play, but in the long term also generate resources for new top-class elite talents.

In addition, Dortmund believe that the current Köln player would not have any adaptation problems. That is still more of an issue with players coming from abroad. That is why Dortmund are now working intensively on a deal.
