Right-back wanted: these are Borussia Dortmund's candidates | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund are still interested in signing a right-back. After Yan Couto’s departure to Italy, the club are looking for a new player, and Dortmund are currently stepping up their efforts. 

At first, Elias Baum of Eintracht Frankfurt was considered a candidate for Dortmund. Then Barcelona talent Hector Fort was linked with the Black and Yellows. However, Frankfurt blocked a deal for Baum, while there has recently only been cautious movement regarding Fort.

Sky’s Transfer Update has now revealed BVB’s plans. And there is more than just one candidate.

BVB: Several candidates in view for the right-back position

Ole Book and Lars Ricken are on the verge of making another move. “We have put a lot of thought into it, the right kind of thought. It’s about doing the right thing, not just doing something,” Lars Ricken explained at the weekend.

And that is exactly a hot topic right now. According to Sky, Fort remains a top candidate and the preferred solution. There are concrete talks, but there is still no guarantee that a transfer will happen. In theory, BVB would still have a little over ten million euros available to complete another deal.

Josh Acheampong of Chelsea is an alternative. A loan move could become an option here, although Chelsea currently prefer a sale. Marcus Pedersen of Torino, who is also Julian Ryerson’s backup on the right side for the national team, has also been sounded out, but that trail has not heated up recently.

A deal for Fort is clearly the preferred option. The player would like to join the Black and Yellows, but it depends on the structure of the deal. A loan and a purchase on favorable terms with a high sell-on clause are currently the most interesting models being discussed.
