With Mussa Kaba, Mathis Albert, and Samuele Inacio—who has made a particularly positive impression—three talents from Borussia Dortmund’s own youth academy, all still eligible to play for the U19s, were given the chance to showcase themselves at the training camp. Kaba, like Filippo Mane, is also in coach Niko Kovac’s squad for today’s match at Eintracht Frankfurt. However, another BVB youngster is now making headlines.
According to information from Sky, Romeo Ritter from the U19s has attracted the interest of well-known clubs. Reportedly, Arsenal FC and AC Milan have contacted Ritter’s agent by phone to inquire about the situation of the 17-year-old central defender.
Ritter, who enjoys a very good reputation in the industry and is considered by many experts to have the potential for a breakthrough, would, however, prefer to stay and is also willing to extend his current contract, which runs until 2028. Ideally, the left-footer would like to make the leap into the professional squad at BVB.
However, it is currently unclear what the concrete outlook is and what role the youngster plays in the considerations of Dortmund’s decision-makers. Ritter, born in 2008, is likely to still play in the youth team in 2026/27 and could then, like Kaba and others now, be gradually introduced to the senior squad.
