Probably not to BVB – Nathan de Cat still in high demand | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund is regularly linked with top talents from Germany and abroad. Not least because BVB has earned a reputation as the ideal club for further development. In reality, however, only very few of the players mentioned actually end up in Dortmund. Nathan de Cat’s path is also unlikely to lead to BVB.

Last autumn, it first emerged that Borussia Dortmund were among the clubs keeping de Cat on their list and were said to have a strong interest in signing the 17-year-old midfielder from RSC Anderlecht. After that, BVB kept being mentioned whenever the conversation turned to the youngster’s next step. Last week, he made his senior debut for Belgium, coming on for a 20-minute appearance in the 5–2 win in the USA.

Several Bundesliga clubs interested

Now, however, Sky reports that de Cat is rather unlikely to be leaning towards a move to Dortmund. The midfield talent has not made a decision yet, though. Still, it is quite possible that de Cat will play in the Bundesliga next season. Bayern Munich are still said to be interested, as are Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig, who would certainly offer better chances of playing time—and therefore development—than the record champions.

One of Europe’s biggest midfield talents is certainly also on the radar of clubs from other top leagues. Tottenham Hotspur, among others, were recently named as a concrete option, although Spurs, who are currently stuck in the Premier League relegation battle, cannot exactly make the strongest sporting case at the moment.

Whether BVB, with new sporting director Ole Book, are still actively pursuing de Cat is not known. At the very least, though, the player is likely to remain on Dortmund’s radar, especially as a summer move appears likely because his contract runs until 2027.
