Borussia Dortmund's Sporting Director, Sebastian Kehl, squashed rumors of a potential move for Stuttgart's Serhou Guirassy and a Jadon Sancho swap deal with Manchester United. According to Kehl, there are no conversations happening with either the Stuttgart club or Guirassy himself. He remained nonchalant regarding the speculation, stating, "I was very amused by that."
Though Guirassy and Sancho aren't in Dortmund's immediate plans, the club isn't completely shutting the door on winter transfers. Kehl hinted at a potential need to explore the market due to the injury to full-back Julian Ryerson. "We will have to take a close look at what options are available," said Kehl.
Despite the denials and clarifications, Borussia Dortmund has been keeping an eye on other promising players. The Belgian international midfielder Johan Bakayoko from PSV Eindhoven is a notable prospect, with Newcastle reportedly willing to shell out €40 million for his services. The club is also focusing on youth development, extending the contract of German wonderkid Almugera Kabar, who has caught the eye of European giants like Barcelona and AC Milan.
In essence, Borussia Dortmund is keeping its options open, focusing on talent and making thoughtful, strategic moves in the transfer market. As the winter window approaches, Dortmund fans and football enthusiasts will eagerly await the club's next move in the chase for potential signings.
