Scout on site – BVB keeping tabs on Marcel Regula | OneFootball

Said El Mala is Borussia Dortmund’s next — and presumably also last — major transfer target this summer, as has been widely known for some time. Regardless of the 1. FC Köln breakout star, whose signing remains completely up in the air and currently threatens to fail due to the Cathedral City club’s so far non-negotiable asking price of at least €50 million, BVB also appears to be keeping its eyes open in various directions.

As reported by the Polish outlet Meczyki, Dortmund have been interested in Marcel Regula of Zagłębie Lubin for quite some time and are also considering an immediate move for the attacking midfielder. As recently as last Sunday, during Lubin’s 3-1 defeat away to Legia Warsaw, Dortmund’s head of scouting Bastian Schulz is said to have been in the Polish capital in person to get a live look at Regula.

The 19-year-old, who in recent weeks has also been linked with 1. FC Köln, was unable to prevent his side’s defeat in Warsaw, but a week earlier he had contributed a goal in the opening round of the Polish Ekstraklasa in a 2-0 home win over Piast Gliwice. The youngster had already made his breakthrough last season, finishing with five goals and five assists in 31 appearances, as well as making his debut for Poland’s U21 side.

Transfer fee in the upper single-digit millions

With a contract still running until 2028, however, Lubin are under no pressure to sell and are reportedly hoping to receive a fee in the region of €7 to €8 million for their homegrown talent.

Whether BVB are willing to invest that kind of money remains to be seen. In addition to the positive experiences with Polish players such as Robert Lewandowski, Lukasz Piszczek and Jakub Blaszczykowski, this summer’s transfer business also speaks in favor of concrete interest. After all, Regula would fit perfectly alongside the club’s first four new signings — Joane Gadou (Red Bull Salzburg), Kauã Prates (Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte), Justin Lerma (Independiente del Valle) and, most recently, Konstantinos Karetsas (KRC Genk) — all of whom are still under 20.
