Soccer Chatter: Kehl Touts Summer Transfers for BVB
Vice-champion Borussia Dortmund isn't anticipating a transfer frenzy during the winter break. "Our main focus lies in the summer, but we'll observe how things unfold over the next few weeks," shared sporting director Sebastian Kehl during the Bundesliga clash between Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen on DAZN. The substantial portion of Jude Bellingham's sale proceeds to Real Madrid has already been re-invested. Kehl referred to the late-transfer window acquisition of international striker Niclas Füllkrug as evidence of their investment strategy.
Kehl also has an eye on U17 world champions Paris Brunner, Almugera Kabar, and Charles Herrmann for the club's future. "We're keeping tabs on these guys, providing support, and have development plans with them," said Kehl. "These lads are crucial components for the future of Borussia Dortmund." Borussia Dortmund's philosophy emphasizes integrating youth academy graduates into the professional squad.
Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen, a local rival, is preparing a transfer push to fortify their squad for the second half of the Bundesliga season. Füllkrug has been on fire for Leverkusen, netting numerous goals in his debut games, fueling excitement from soccer fans for his future performances during the winter break.
