Agreement with Diego Moreira? – BVB seemingly in pole position | OneFootball

Even after the signings of Justin Lerma (Independiente del Valle), Kauã Prates (Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte) and Joane Gadou (Red Bull Salzburg), Borussia Dortmund reportedly still have a transfer budget of around €25 million, which could still be significantly increased through sales. But even before any transfer income comes in, there could still be movement when it comes to new signings thanks to the available financial leeway.

According to sporting director Ole Book, BVB would particularly like to present another attacking reinforcement fairly soon. A number of potential candidates are currently being discussed in this context, but one lead appears to be taking shape, at least according to Mohamed Toubache-Ter. As the French journalist reports, Borussia are said to be in pole position for Diego Moreira of Racing Strasbourg, who is being courted by several clubs.

Most recently, Stade Rennes are said to have made a move, but Moreira would reportedly prefer to join Dortmund and is also said to have already reached a basic agreement with BVB.

The overall package would cost more than €40 million

However, an agreement between BVB and Moreira himself is not the biggest hurdle. Rather, the question is whether Borussia can reach common ground with Strasbourg, as the Conference League semi-finalists are said to be demanding a fee of €38 million plus bonuses of up to another €5 million to release him from a contract that runs until 2029 — a figure at which BVB likely neither can nor want to make a move.

Regardless of that, Moreira — who recorded five goals and nine assists in 42 competitive appearances last season — would be an exciting option at 21 years of age and with plenty of development potential. Also because the two-time Belgium senior international would be a highly versatile alternative, capable of playing on both flanks in defensive and attacking roles.
