Rumour: ex-BVB star Guerreiro off to Italy? | OneFootball

His record speaks for itself: 65 international caps, 63 Champions League matches, 223 Bundesliga appearances. But at the moment, Raphael Guerreiro is without a club. The 32-year-old former Borussia Dortmund pro apparently does not have to worry about his sporting future, though.

Most recently, the Portuguese player featured for Bayern Munich. Between 2023 and 2026, Guerreiro made 95 appearances for the record champions (14 goals, 8 assists). That is no comparison to the 224 matches he played for BVB over the course of seven seasons. For the Black and Yellows, he found the net an impressive 40 times. He also produced 50 assists.

The son of a Portuguese father and a French mother was born in Le Blanc-Mesnil, northeast of Paris. Although he represented Portugal internationally, Guerreiro’s club career has so far taken him only to France and Germany.

Versatile option

Now, however, the 2016 European champion could be heading for new shores. According to a report by Tuttosport, AC Milan are considering signing the free-agent Guerreiro. At the Rossoneri, he is being lined up as a replacement for Pervis Estupiñán (28), who is close to a move to Premier League side Aston Villa.

Guerreiro’s advantage is not only that he is without a club, but also his versatility. He feels most comfortable at left-back, but the former BVB star has also proven his quality as a right-back, an attacking wing-back, and even in central midfield.

If Estupiñán leaves, the Portuguese would compete at left-back with Milan academy product Davide Bartesaghi (20). The fact that a fellow countryman of Guerreiro’s, Rúben Amorim (41), has been in the dugout at the Lombard club for a few weeks now certainly will not hurt the 32-year-old’s chances.
