Jordi Paulina plans his next move – winter transfer on the cards? | OneFootball

Although Jordi Paulina is a key player for Borussia Dortmund’s second team, the 21-year-old striker does not really have a professional future at BVB. It is therefore possible that Jordi Paulina, also with a view to his chances of playing for Curacao at the World Cup next summer—including a match against Germany—will turn his back on Borussia this winter.

After his move from USV Hercules Utrecht to Dortmund in the summer of 2024, Paulina made his debut for the first team surprisingly quickly in October. However, his substitution during the DFB-Pokal exit at VfL Wolfsburg (0:1 a.e.t.) was mainly due to the severe personnel shortage at that time. This was followed by three nominations for the matchday squad, but the 1.91-meter-tall striker last appeared there in November 2024.

Since then, Paulina has played no further role with the first team, even though he followed up a solid five goals and three assists in last season’s 3. Liga with seven goals and one assist in eleven Regionalliga matches so far this season.

Interest from Domestic and Foreign Clubs

His strong record with BVB U23 has, however, earned him a debut with the Curacao national team. In his debut in November, the BVB striker immediately scored twice against Bermuda and then came on as a substitute to help secure a 0-0 draw in Jamaica, which clinched direct qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

Not least with the World Cup in mind, Paulina now wants to play at a much higher level than the Regionalliga in his everyday football. And the striker certainly has opportunities to do so. According to “Sky,” several clubs—including RSC Anderlecht, KV Mechelen, Go Ahead Eagles Deventer, and some German second division teams—are considering a winter transfer, which is also being sought by the player’s camp.

Despite Paulina’s contract running until 2027, BVB would probably not stand in the way of his next career step, but would certainly insist on a transfer fee.
