Departure candidate included: BVB name squad for Japan trip | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund’s trip to Japan is on the agenda. BVB will depart on Sunday and wants this journey to be about more than just putting in good performances in the friendlies.

In Asia, alongside the test matches against Cerezo Osaka (29 July) and FC Tokyo (1 August), there will also be plenty of meetings with Japanese fans. And now it is also clear which players BVB has selected for this trip.

One thing stands out immediately: Diant Ramaj, who has been considering a move away and has attracted interest from several clubs, is not included. He will remain in Dortmund, as will sporting director Ole Book, who has to conduct negotiations.

And a few other things are noticeable as well: several youngsters are included. Among them are Justin Lerma, Marwan Mirza, Almugera Kabar, Takato Yamamoto, Filippo Mané, Justin Lerma and Mathis Albert.

Not included are the World Cup participants Gregor Kobel, Ramy Bensebaini, Julian Ryerson and Marcel Sabitzer, as well as the injured Emre Can and Nico Schlotterbeck.

In return, established players in the squad include Maximilian Beier, Serhou Guirassy, Waldemar Anton, Daniel Svensson and Felix Nmecha.

Yan Couto is also included, by the way. There had also been rumors about him leaving, with Como having looked into him intensively, but over the last few days nothing at all has happened on that front. His nomination for this trip seems to be a clear indication that there are currently no concrete talks whatsoever.

Those talks are now set to be pushed forward back home regarding BVB targets Konstantinos Karetsas and Said El Mala. Dortmund want to sign attacking players soon, but they are also aware of the pressure they are currently under because the market is overheated and everyone knows Dortmund are in need. At least in Karetsas’ case, there have been and still are positive signals.
