Trail to FC Midtjylland cools, but Cole Campbell’s desire to move is clear

Unlike the 2-2 draw against SC Wiedenbrück last week, Cole Campbell was not in the squad for Borussia Dortmund's U23 team in their 1-0 victory against SC Paderborn II to close out the year. Since he is also not expected to play for the first team in the match against TSG Hoffenheim on Sunday evening, the 19-year-old remains inactive this weekend and is likely to further pursue his thoughts of transferring.

After a transfer did not materialize in the summer despite interest from clubs like VfB Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt, reportedly due to Dortmund's transfer fee demand of around seven million euros, Campbell is now pushing for a departure in the winter, according to a report by "Ruhr Nachrichten," and has communicated this wish to the club's management. This is also because BVB is said to have not fulfilled promises regarding a clear professional perspective.

Only a loose exchange with Midtjylland

Despite disappointing months with little playing time, several other clubs are reportedly interested in Campbell. Recently, FC Brugge, RSC Anderlecht, and SV Elversberg have been mentioned in this context.

FC Midtjylland, with former BVB coach Mike Tulberg, who knows Campbell well from their time together in Dortmund, was also considered a potential destination for Campbell's next step. However, according to "Ruhr Nachrichten," the trail to the Danish top club has already gone cold. There was reportedly a loose exchange, but there appears to be no concrete interest in a collaboration.
