Diego Moreira deal likely off – BVB target set for move to Italy | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund are repeatedly linked with potential new signings without those trails subsequently becoming more concrete. In the case of Diego Moreira of Racing Strasbourg, however, the speculation persisted for several weeks in the spring, including a report at the end of May that BVB had already reached an agreement with the Belgian international. In the meantime, though, it very much looks as if Moreira will not be pulling on a black-and-yellow shirt in the future.

Italian transfer insider Nicolo Schira reports on X that Moreira, who is also being courted by Stade Rennes, is said to have reached an agreement in principle with AS Roma on a contract until 2031 worth three million euros per year.

However, there is still no common ground between the two clubs. Negotiations between Roma and Strasbourg are ongoing regarding the transfer fee, with the French side holding plenty of cards thanks in part to a contract that runs until 2029.

An appearance at the 2026 World Cup

Even though Moreira came off the bench only in the 3-2 round-of-32 win over Senegal at the 2026 World Cup, the 21-year-old’s market value has certainly not fallen after a strong season in Ligue 1 and the Conference League, not least because of his inclusion in Belgium’s World Cup squad. Strasbourg are said to be looking for at least 30 million euros in transfer fee, which is likely why BVB did not continue to pursue the matter.

So far, Moreira has made four senior international appearances for Belgium, but if his development continues positively, he is likely to play a bigger role after the World Cup, especially since the wide player can be used on the left flank both defensively and offensively and has also frequently featured on the right wing.
