Is Tresoldi joining BVB? The latest on the situation | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund are still looking into Nicolo Tresoldi. Whether sporting director Ole Book’s preferred target can actually move to BVB, however, depends on one key personnel matter.

At Borussia Dortmund, the signs are growing that Serhou Guirassy will also lead the line next season. Now that the striker’s release clause has expired, BVB can plan for the new campaign far more calmly. At the same time, however, this development is also affecting the Black and Yellows’ transfer plans.

Several top European clubs had until recently been able to sign Guirassy for just under €40 million. According to Sky, the clubs with this option included Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal. However, none of those clubs activated the clause. If another interested club were now to emerge, the transfer fee would have to be negotiated freely with Borussia Dortmund.

Most recently, Fenerbahce were also linked with the forward. According to Sky, however, Dortmund never received a concrete offer. Sky reporter Patrick Berger also made it clear: “And Serhou Guirassy himself has basically ruled out a move to Turkey at this point.”

BVB move for Tresoldi depends on Guirassy

Internally as well, everything points to him staying. Before the summer break, Guirassy, coach Niko Kovac and sporting director Ole Book held talks about the striker’s future. During those discussions, Dortmund’s decision-makers made it clear that they see the forward as part of their long-term plans.

That, however, has consequences for two potential new signings. According to Sky, Nicolo Tresoldi is sporting director Book’s absolute top target. The 21-year-old impressed last season at Club Brugge with 23 goals and nine assists. Although according to the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, an agreement with the player has already been reached, the Belgian club are reportedly demanding a fee of between €25 million and €30 million. As long as Guirassy stays in Dortmund, a transfer therefore seems hardly feasible.

A similar development is emerging with Fisnik Asllani. The Hoffenheim player recorded 21 goal contributions in 35 competitive matches last season and was also on Dortmund’s list. However, since BVB are now firmly planning with Guirassy, there is currently a lot to suggest that Asllani will join RB Leipzig instead. The 23-year-old and the Saxony club are reportedly already largely in agreement.
