Buy-back clause active: are BVB bringing back a defender? | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund have an exciting summer transfer window ahead of them. Even though deals have already been made, there is still more work to do.

At the moment, however, the people in charge at the Black and Yellows are in a kind of holding pattern. No wonder, because with Karim Adeyemi and Serhou Guirassy still not sold, Dortmund’s transfer window has stalled.

That is not yet a reason to panic in Dortmund, but it is certainly something they still need to keep an eye on. For BVB, however, a good and affordable opportunity could theoretically still arise through a clause.

Rothe could return to BVB

Since July 1, a clause has been active that allows BVB to bring Tom Rothe back from Union Berlin. The left-back has developed very well with the Köpenickers and is an exciting player.

Many BVB fans would certainly like to see the young player back in Dortmund, but there are also points against it. After the spending so far, the clause, which is said to be in the region of 12 to 18 million euros, is quite steep.

And on the left side, with Daniel Svensson, there is already a very driven and promising player in the squad who enjoys the Black and Yellows’ full confidence.

In addition, with Kaua Prates, BVB have a young Brazilian whom they see as a long-term option for this position. So there is not much room left there. That is why it seems very unrealistic that Dortmund will activate the clause.

There would, however, still be one special case. Namely, if Dortmund had the prospect of a lucrative offer for the player that would allow them to make a profit. But that is not on the horizon at the moment either, which is why everything still points to BVB ultimately not making use of their clause.
