Borussia Dortmund have not yet contacted FC Porto over Pietuszewski | OneFootball

Oskar Pietuszewski was linked last Thursday with a possible transfer during the upcoming summer window. The German outlet Fussballdaten reported that Borussia Dortmund were interested in signing the young player and could soon take “concrete steps” to move the deal forward.

According to the same publication, the German club, current Bundesliga runners-up, had already begun contacts with the representatives of the footballer, who is only 18 years old. The aim would be to learn about his “future plans and career goals,” as well as to present him with the plan outlined for his development.

However, newspaper O Jogo wrote this Friday that the board led by André Villas-Boas has not, so far, received any contact or request for information regarding the forward. Therefore, the possibility of the player changing clubs is not, for now, on the table.

Release clause set at 60 million euros

Pietuszewski arrived at the Estádio do Dragão in January this year from Jagiellonia Bialystok in a deal worth around ten million euros. The agreement also included bonuses linked to the achievement of certain targets, although their exact value was never disclosed.

The Polish club also retained the right to 10% of any future capital gain resulting from the player’s sale. Pietuszewski, meanwhile, initially signed a contract valid until 5 January 2029, the maximum term allowed by FIFA regulations for underage footballers.

After reaching adulthood in May and helping the team coached by Italian manager Francesco Farioli win the national championship, the youngster renewed his deal with FC Porto. The new contract extended his stay until 30 June 2031 and kept the release clause at 60 million euros.
