BVB considering: New striker in January? | OneFootball

After the defeat in the Champions League against Manchester City (1:4), Borussia Dortmund hopes to show a positive reaction today, Saturday, against Hamburger SV. This is also to ensure they go into the upcoming international break with a good feeling, during which those responsible, including sports director Sebastian Kehl, are likely to want to advance one or two personnel matters.

With Nico Schlotterbeck and Karim Adeyemi, whom BVB wants to bind as long-term as possible, further talks are not expected due to their nomination for the German national team. However, there might be more intensive internal discussions about possible new signings in January.

According to information from "Bild," Borussia is considering signing another striker in the winter. This is partly because Serhou Guirassy is currently not performing consistently at the top level of the previous season, and summer signing Fabio Silva is still not at 100 percent and has only been used as a substitute so far.

Verona demands 30 million euros for Giovane

The Brazilian Giovane, who was first linked with BVB during the week, indeed plays a role in the considerations. The 21-year-old Brazilian only moved from Corinthians Sao Paulo to Hellas Verona this season, but despite a modest tally of one goal and three assists in ten Serie A games, he has already attracted interest from several top clubs.

The two Milan clubs, Inter and AC, as well as SSC Napoli and BVB, are said to have their eyes on Giovane, with the 1.84-meter-tall striker reportedly already being scouted on-site by BVB. However, the price could become a problem. Although Giovane joined Verona on a free transfer, Hellas is reportedly hoping for around 30 million euros. A sum that BVB is unlikely to put on the table for a striker whose market value is currently estimated at four million euros by "transfermarkt.de," which is still significantly lower.
