Roma striker Soulé offered to Dortmund | OneFootball

Lars Ricken has a lot of work ahead of him until the summer transfer window closes in Germany on September 1. The 49-year-old sports director of Borussia Dortmund is on the lookout for reinforcements. However, apart from Jobe Bellingham (19) and backup goalkeeper Patrick Drewes (32), no new arrivals have found their way to BVB yet.

Strictly speaking, the balance is not complete. The Bundesliga club has permanently signed loan players Daniel Svensson (23) and Yan Couto (23), who apparently got off lightly after the horror foul by Kelsey Owusu (21) in the DFB Cup match at Rot-Weiss Essen (1:0). But the fans are counting on further reinforcements. However, so far neither the commitment of Wolves striker Fábio Silva (23) nor that of Chelsea's Carney Chukwuemeka (21) has been successful.

"They have received a series of rejections," states Sky reporter Patrick Berger in the podcast "Auffe Süd". Claudio Echeverri (19) for example, offensive gem from Manchester City, joins Bayer Leverkusen on loan. BVB, on the other hand, comes up empty.

BVB dependent on Guirassy

The transfer budget of the Black and Yellows is said to be around 30 million euros. However, this does not allow for big leaps. This is evident with Matías Soulé. The right winger of AS Roma is said to have been offered to the Bundesliga fourth by intermediaries. The 22-year-old Argentine can be used flexibly in the offensive area - not only on the outside position, but also as a hanging tip and in midfield.

The skillful dribbler played for Juventus Turin from 2020 to 2024. However, he spent his last year on loan at Frosinone Calcio. In the summer of 2024, Roma took action and brought Soulé to the Tiber for 25.6 million euros. For the Giallorossi, he made 39 appearances across all competitions, scoring five times and providing assists.

The Argentine could be the hoped-for reinforcement for BVB's attack. In addition, the Westphalians would be a little less dependent on their top scorer Serhou Guirassy (29), who secured the cup victory in Essen. However, the purchase price for Soulé is said to be around 30 million euros, according to Sky. This would exhaust Borussia's budget after just one more commitment. Therefore, a purchase of the twelve-time junior national player seems rather unlikely.
