Top English club chase Anton: BVB make their decision | OneFootball

A top Premier League club has set its sights on BVB star Waldemar Anton. Borussia Dortmund are reportedly responding clearly to the emerging transfer rumors.

Waldemar Anton has long established himself as a key player at Borussia Dortmund. The centre-back’s strong performances have apparently not gone unnoticed in England either. As the British Mirror recently reported, Manchester United are seriously considering a move for the Germany international.

According to the report, the Red Devils are even said to be willing to put around €35 million on the table for Anton. United coach Michael Carrick in particular is reportedly a strong supporter of a move for the 29-year-old. According to information from Sky Sport, however, the matter is not yet that advanced. So far, there has only been initial contact and informal discussions between the parties involved. Dortmund have not yet received an official offer.

Dortmund’s decision-makers are not thinking about selling their defensive leader anyway. According to Sky, the Black and Yellows are instead planning to tie Anton, who is under contract until 2028, to the club for the long term. After the World Cup, talks are set to take place over a salary adjustment to reflect his growing importance within the team.

Anton himself is also not said to be considering a move at this time. According to Sky, the defender is fully focused on the World Cup with the German national team as well as his duties at BVB. Internally, he enjoys a great deal of trust and could even rise to become the team’s third captain next season.

For Dortmund, the interest from Manchester comes at a particularly bad time. There are already several question marks in defense. Emre Can is out with a torn ACL, while Nico Schlotterbeck’s future is not fully settled because of his release clause. Accordingly, those in charge are keen to avoid another loss at the back if possible.

Even so, the final word may not yet have been spoken in this case. If Anton impresses at the World Cup, interest from the Premier League could continue to grow. Manchester United are certainly continuing to monitor the situation very closely.
