Borussia Dortmund a topic for Alexandra Popp - Alexandra Popp’s future hangs in the balance amid stellar Bundesliga form
Alexandra Popp is enjoying one of her best seasons yet. The VfL Wolfsburg striker sits joint-top of the Bundesliga scoring charts with ten goals, matching Selina Cerci’s tally. Now, as the 2025-26 campaign unfolds, questions about her future are growing louder.
Popp, who retired from professional football in July 2024 before making a surprise return, has yet to confirm where she will play next season—or if she will play at all.
Born in Witten, Popp began her career at MSV Duisburg before moving to Wolfsburg in 2012. Since then, she has become one of the league’s most consistent forwards. Her current form is undeniable: she feels physically stronger than ever and is playing with confidence.
Since stepping away from international duty, Popp has spoken about the freedom she now feels on the pitch. Without the weight of national team responsibility, she can focus entirely on her club performances. This shift has clearly paid off, with her sharpness in front of goal keeping Wolfsburg in title contention.
Yet her future remains open. Popp has not ruled out staying at Wolfsburg for another season, a club where she has spent over a decade. At the same time, she has hinted at a possible move to Borussia Dortmund, adding to the speculation. Retirement is also still on the table, though she insists there is no rush to decide.
For now, the striker is taking her time. All options—whether extending her Wolfsburg contract, joining a new team, or walking away from the game—are being carefully weighed.
Popp’s decision will shape not only her own career but also the Bundesliga’s attacking landscape. With ten goals already this season, her next move could influence the title race. Whatever she chooses, her impact on German football remains undeniable.
