Two attacking stars offered: Dortmund face tricky budget dilemma | OneFootball

Two coveted offensive players are said to have been offered to BVB. However, the Dortmund team is facing a tricky budget question.

Borussia Dortmund is still looking for reinforcements for the offense, but the financial possibilities are limited. According to Sky, the BVB was recently offered Christopher Nkunku (FC Chelsea) and Matías Soulé (AS Roma) - two players who could help the Black and Yellows on paper.

However,! both candidates are currently not realistic: winger Soulé is far beyond the feasible range with a demanded price of 30 million euros, while Nkunku would be simply too expensive for the BVB in a total package. The club is said to still have a transfer budget of 30 million euros available, but according to sports director Lars Ricken, this is to be distributed among two to three new signings.

The offense is not the only area where Dortmund is desperately seeking reinforcement. For the defense, Juan Giménez is no longer an option after a cruciate ligament rupture at Rosario Central. Additionally, the BVB has already received several rejections: Claudio Echeverri is likely to switch to Bayer Leverkusen, Ethan Nwaneri will stay with FC Arsenal, and a renewed loan of Carney Chukwuemeka from Chelsea has not been realized so far. The rumors about Jadon Sancho have also died down.

BVB with difficult transfer window

Experts see the transfer window as difficult for Dortmund so far. According to Sky expert Patrick Berger, the club has had no luck with numerous candidates: "Whether Ethan Nwaneri or Omari Hutchinson, whom they tried very hard to get and who went to Nottingham from Ipswich for over 40 million euros... After Eliesse Ben Seghir, they inquired about Maghnes Akliouche - both Monaco players are too expensive, they can forget about them. The BVB is not making progress. They have received a series of rejections."

Despite the difficulties, sports director Sebastian Kehl recently showed himself to be optimistic: "I am optimistic that we will still do something, that we can make this squad broader or perhaps even better at the end. We still have a few days for that."

Nkunku may be facing a return to RB Leipzig, while Soulé remains practically unaffordable for the BVB. Given the tight financial situation, Dortmund must continue to look for alternatives to strengthen the offense and, if necessary, the defense in time.
