US talent on the radar – BVB eye Aiden Hezarkhani | OneFootball

With Julien Duranville and Cole Campbell, two attacking talents currently out on loan with mixed success are set to return to Borussia Dortmund this summer – although their future there appears rather uncertain. After all, in addition to the next generation of talents already at the club with Samuele Inacio and Mathias Albert, promising South American youngster Justin Lerma (Independiente del Valle) is also joining – and perhaps a talent from the USA as well?

According to a report by the portal Sportsboom, BVB are said to be one of several clubs keeping tabs on Aiden Hezarkhani of Real Salt Lake City. Like PSV Eindhoven, Villarreal CF and Brighton & Hove Albion, Dortmund are said to have watched Hezarkhani several times and come away with positive assessments.

In Dortmund, however, the US youth international with Iranian roots is said to be more of a long-term target, as is also the case in Brighton, whereas Eindhoven are reportedly already in contact with his family.

Contract until the end of 2028

The fact that Giovanni Reyna and Christian Pulisic have already broken through as professionals in Dortmund is unlikely to hurt BVB’s chances if their interest in Hezarkhani becomes concrete. However, after only eight MLS appearances so far, Dortmund will presumably want to monitor his further development before possibly making a move.

Also because the 18-year-old attacker, who is mostly deployed on the right wing, would not come cheap. Given a contract that runs until the end of 2028, Real Salt Lake City are reportedly only willing to talk in the event of really lucrative offers.
