Surprise: are BVB letting one of their brightest talents go? | OneFootball

Are BVB letting one of their biggest defensive talents go? An 18-year-old could leave Dortmund if the right offer comes in.

There could still be some movement in Borussia Dortmund’s defense in the final stretch of the transfer window. Luca Reggiani, who drew attention with promising performances last season, is apparently allowed to leave BVB. However, this would depend on a suitable offer for the 18-year-old Italian.

According to information from Sky, Dortmund would not stand in Reggiani’s way if an attractive offer arrives. It is a somewhat surprising development, as the center-back was one of the positive revelations for BVB in the second half of the season. Due to the squad’s difficult personnel situation, the youngster got his chances and made nine Bundesliga appearances in the second half of the campaign.

However, his situation has changed in the meantime. In the internal pecking order, Reggiani is currently said to be behind Waldemar Anton, Ramy Bensebaini, new signing Joane Gadou, and Filippo Mane. In addition, two more defensive players, Nico Schlotterbeck and Emre Can, are close to returning. That could make playing time much harder to come by for Reggiani.

Inter Milan show interest in BVB talent Reggiani

There is apparently interest from Italy. Inter Milan in particular are said to be looking more closely at the Dortmund talent and remain in contact with Reggiani. According to the report, however, there have been no advanced negotiations so far. A possible transfer fee is also not yet known.

BVB are under no pressure either. Reggiani has a long-term contract in Dortmund. According to Sky, his deal runs until 2029. The club only extended the partnership in March 2026. A few months later, the defender even made his debut for the Italian national team.

Reggiani’s departure could also affect further squad planning. According to Sky, Dortmund are working on a move for Hector Fort from FC Barcelona. The 20-year-old full-back is said to prefer a move to BVB despite interest from Roma and Real Sociedad. Dortmund are therefore looking for the most cost-effective solution possible with Barça. Reggiani joined Dortmund from US Sassuolo in 2024 and initially played for the U17s. Now, despite his rapid rise, his time at BVB could come to a surprisingly early end.
