Hungarian gem on the radar – BVB enquire about Bendegúz Kovács | OneFootball

A final decision is expected to be made in May, probably shortly after the end of the season, but since it cannot be ruled out that Serhou Guirassy, who is now also being linked with Tottenham Hotspur, may leave Borussia Dortmund, the search for a possible replacement for the center forward position is already underway in the background.

After, in addition to the young talents Ben Farhat (Karlsruher SC), Armando González (Deportivo Guadalajara), and Luca Meirelles (Shakhtar Donetsk), the somewhat more experienced Irish international Troy Parrott (AZ Alkmaar) was recently mentioned as a candidate, the latest striker name linked with BVB once again falls into the category of “very young and highly talented.”

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, BVB is not only interested in Bendegúz Kovács, but has already inquired with AZ Alkmaar about a possible transfer—not entirely by chance, as the 18-year-old striker almost single-handedly knocked Dortmund’s U19 out of the Youth League with three goals in a 4-0 win in early February. Although Kovács has yet to make an appearance for the first team, he has played for the second team, scoring an impressive five goals in eight appearances in the second-tier Keuken Kampioen Divisie.

Interest also from Portugal, Italy, and England

In Alkmaar, they are well aware of the potential of the 1.99-meter-tall Hungarian, who has scored three times in eight U19 international matches for his home country. The Dutch are said to be demanding around five million as a transfer fee for Kovacs, who is by no means only attracting interest from BVB.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Sporting Lisbon, Juventus Turin, and Aston Villa have also made inquiries and expressed concrete interest. However, Alkmaar is under no pressure to sell, as Kovács is under contract until 2028.
