Jordi Paulina set to leave BVB, move to Fortuna Düsseldorf imminent | OneFootball

With seven goals in just eleven appearances, Jordi Paulina was Borussia Dortmund II's top scorer in the Regionalliga West over the past six months. However, the BVB's U23 team will have to do without the Curaçao national player in the new year, as he will be hunting for goals two divisions higher in the 2. Bundesliga.

The official confirmation is still pending, but as has been suggested in recent days, Jordi Paulina will leave BVB for Fortuna Düsseldorf. According to "Sky" reporter Florian Plettenberg, the 21-year-old striker is completely parting ways with Dortmund, but BVB still retains some control over the situation.

Two Clauses for BVB

Düsseldorf is paying only a modest transfer fee of around 400,000 euros for Paulina, but BVB will receive 50 percent of any potential resale. In other words, if the two-time Curaçao national player, who aims to recommend himself for the World Cup squad and a preliminary round duel against Germany while at Fortuna, develops positively, Borussia could financially benefit.

Moreover, BVB apparently also secures a buy-back option, meaning they could bring Paulina back to Dortmund if the Dutch-born player matures into a top striker.

The two clauses suggest that Dortmund holds Paulina in high regard and is convinced of his potential. This is certainly also true for Sven Mislintat, who knows Paulina well from his time in Dortmund and is now making the striker his second signing as the new sporting director of Fortuna.

The announcement of the transfer is expected to happen fairly soon. Fortuna coach Markus Anfang would certainly like to have Paulina join the start of the training camp this coming Sunday.
