There has been no contact yet between Como and Yan Couto or BVB. So far, only a general interest has been expressed. However, despite a poor season, Couto would still cost a high fee. The Italians would have to pay BVB between €20 million and €25 million for a deal to go through at all. 🗞 @BILD

Borussia Dortmund will face HEBC Hamburg in the first round of the DFB Pokal. #BVB

Following the collapse of Said El Mala’s move to Brentford, negotiations are ongoing behind the scenes with other clubs, including some from the Premier League. A move to Borussia Dortmund is also a possibility. 🗞 @express24 #BVB

Aston Villa have expressed an interest in Serhou Guirassy. The Premier League club are keeping a close eye on the situation surrounding Guirassy and are considering a possible move for him. 🗞 @BILD #BVB

Borussia Dortmund are still involved in the race for Kennet Eichhorn despite reports suggesting they had withdrawn from the race. 🗞 @Plettigoal #BVB

Como are in talks to sign Yan Couto, Borussia Dortmund’s right-back. 🗞 @MatteMoretto #BVB

The top priority remains signing a new attacking player. The new number 10 is expected, above all, to bring creativity, flair and a knack for scoring goals to the team. Furthermore, this transfer is intended to help keep Serhou Guirassy at the club. 🗞 @SPORTBILD #BVB

Even though Borussia Dortmund are unwilling to meet the terms demanded for a deal involving Kennet Eichhorn, the club’s clear intention is to sign a player for that position. Felix Nmecha is seen as a key anchor, 🗞 @SPORTBILD #BVB

Borussia Dortmund would like to sell Julien Duranville, but this would be subject to one clear condition – the club wants a buy-back option. If this arrangement falls through, the club intends to loan the player out again. 🗞 @SPORTBILD #BVB

Karim Adeyemi on a possible new contract: "For me, having an open and honest conversation with the club and the management is simply very important. That’s the foundation for a trusting working relationship. 🗞 @FunkeSport #BVB

Karim Adeyemi is open to leave Borussia Dortmund this summer, with the Premier League his preferred destination. Aston Villa are aware of his situation and have long-term interest, but it’s unclear whether they will make an offer for him. 🗞 @TheAthleticFC #BVB

Kennet Eichhorn and his agent are demanding a signing fee of 10 million euros in the event of a transfer. Their reasoning is that the player has a market value of 20 million euros, so the price is entirely in line with market rates. From BVB’s point of view, that is too much. 🗞 @SPORTBILD #BVB

Borussia Dortmund and Karim Adeyemi are still far apart in negotiations regarding a new contract. Adeyemi currently earns around €6.5 million, but is reportedly demanding over €10 million a year for a new contract. 🗞 @BILD #BVB

Lars Ricken on the rumours surrounding Serhou Guirassy and Fenerbahçe: "We have not received any offers for Serhou. Nor do we intend to let him go. He has impressively demonstrated his value to Borussia Dortmund over the past two seasons." 🗞 @FunkeSport #BVB

If Fenerbahçe are genuinely prepared to make a €40 million bid for Serhou Guirassy, Borussia Dortmund would be willing to let the player go. However, the Turkish club still wants to try to lower the fee. 🗞 @BILD #BVB

Ole Book, Thomas Broich and loan manager Sebastian Hille are currently drawing up multi-year plans for the promising young players of the new generation. 🗞 @kicker #BVB

Kjell Wätjen has no immediate prospects of a place in the Borussia Dortmund squad. A transfer is therefore currently the most likely option. 🗞 @kicker #BVB

Fenerbahçe presidential candidate Aziz Yıldırım has reached a verbal agreement with Serhou Guirassy and Borussia Dortmund. If Yıldırım wins the election, the deal will be formalised with the club and the player. 🗞 @yagosabuncuoglu #BVB

When asked, Nico Schlotterbeck declined to commit to BVB and did not deny the existence of a release clause: 🗞 @BILD #BVB

Borussia Dortmund @Transfermarkt market value update: - Luca Reggiani: €5m 📈 €10m - Jobe Bellingham: €30m 📈 €40m - Samuele Inacio: €3m 📈 €15m #BVB

Lars Ricken on a new contract for Niko Kovac: "We’ve already discussed this internally and we’re quite relaxed about it because we have a very strong bond of trust. We’re clear on this point, and Niko is clear on it too. 🗞 @SPORTBILD #BVB

Ole Book on what the club plans to do with the young players who have made the leap to the first team this season, as well as new signings like Lerma and Prates: 🗞 @SPORTBILD #BVB

Ole Book: "For us, it’s about pushing ahead with squad planning and implementing the ideas we believe in. It’s obviously good if the manager has a strong squad from the very first day of pre-season." 🗞 @SPORTBILD #BVB

Lars Ricken: "I won’t let anyone take away my ambitions. But perhaps you’ll recall: last year, I set out a clear goal of winning the DFB Cup. At the time, people said, “That’s a bold claim!” But for me, that’s the norm: we’re competing in the DFB Cup to win it." #BVB

Lars Ricken: "I have a clear goal: as a club, we want to be a close-knit team. If we are to succeed, we need solidarity and unity. That is very important to me. And on the pitch, we want to stand for two things: hard work and entertainment." 🗞 @SPORTBILD #BVB

Kennet Eichhorn’s release clause is reportedly set to expire. A decision is expected in the first few weeks of June. The link with Borussia Dortmund no longer seems to be the hottest prospect. 🗞 @FunkeSport #BVB

Luca Reggiani, Filippo Mane and Samuele Inacio have been nominated for the Italian national team. #BVB

It is unlikely that Borussia Dortmund will receive the €8.5 million they paid for Julien Duranville at the time. There is a written offer from the Italian club Monza for €1.5 million, but that is not enough for Dortmund . 🗞 @berger_pj #BVB

Samuele Inacio will be included in Italy's national team squad for the friendlies against Luxembourg and Greece 🗞 @Gazzetta_it #BVB

Julien Duranville has been offered to Strasbourg under Gary O’Neil, who has included him on his extended shortlist. Borussia Dortmund highly value Duranville, but the change in management could have an impact on his future. 🗞 @sachatavolieri #BVB

Rennes have made an approach for Diego Moreira. He is in high demand, particularly from Borussia Dortmund, who are his preferred destination. The player is reportedly in agreement with the German club. Strasbourg are asking for €38m + €5m. 🗞 @MohamedTERParis #BVB

Following the result of the DFB Cup Final, Borussia Dortmund will face Bayern Munich in the Franz-Beckenbauer-Supercup at the start of the 2026/27 season. #BVB

Thomas Broich on the fundamental principles of BVB’s youth development: "We use reverse engineering to identify what is required at the very highest level. Our first-team players were recently in the Champions League final against Real Madrid." 🗞 @Transfermarkt #BVB

Youth department director Thomas Broich: "Two years ago, we took a different approach, wanting to move away from titles to some extent and focus entirely on individual development. We adopted a very complex style of play and significantly rejuvenated our squads." 🗞 @Transfermarkt #BVB

Julien Duranville is nearing the end of his time at Borussia Dortmund. Both sides are working towards a permanent parting of ways. The Belgian plays virtually no part in the club’s future plans. 🗞 @BILD #BVB

The away kit for the new season will be more simple and black this time. It will be unveiled in the summer. It is not yet clear whether there will be a cup kit. There will be no special edition kit next season. The club wants to keep the shirt collection a bit smaller 🗞 @RNBVB #BVB

🇩🇪 Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck, Felix Nmecha and Maximilian Beier have been nominated for the german national team and will go to the World Cup. #BVB

As only a handful of players have really impressed this season, there are only few players who are not for sale during this transfer window: Felix Nmecha, Samuele Inacio, Jobe Bellingham, Waldemar Anton, Maximilian Beier and Gregor Kobel. 🗞 @BILD #BVB

Maximilian Beier has been nominated for the german national team and will go to the World Cup. 🗞 @Plettigoal #BVB

There is growing interest in Julian Ryerson, particularly from England, including from Manchester United. The Norwegian is not unsellable, despite – or perhaps precisely because of – his strong season. 🗞 @kicker #BVB

The three-man defence is also planned for next season. A clear transition to a four-man defence will require clear wingers. Restructuring the squad to accommodate this will take at least two further transfer windows. 🗞 @SPORTBILD #BVB

The club can stretch its original budget of €25 million – excluding sales – considerably further. Another signing in the same price range as Joane Gadou is possible. If there are no sales, Ole Book intends to get creative and arrange loan deals with options to buy. 🗞 @SPORTBILD #BVB

There is considerable interest in attacking midfielder Sven Mijnans from Alkmaar within the Bundesliga. Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen, for example, are said to have their sights set on Mijnans.

Following discussions regarding Jadon Sancho over the past few weeks, Borussia Dortmund’s management has reached a tendency: a transfer is unlikely. 🗞 @BILD #BVB

Borussia Dortmund have not yet received any direct communication regarding reports that Jadon Sancho has expressed a desire to join Borussia Dortmund. #BVB

For Felix Nmecha, the entire comeback plan went smoothly – he has no physical problems at all, so he will be going to the World Cup. 🗞 @BILD #BVB

Galatasaray are very interested in Julian Brandt and have made contact. Brandt himself would prefer a move abroad and wants to play in the Champions League - his wish would be a move to Spain. He is not yet interested in Japan or the MLS. 🗞 @berger_pj #BVB

Manchester United have made enquiries about Julian Ryerson. However, whether this becomes concrete depends on many factors. If it does, Dortmund would demand at least €30 million - there is no price tag. The club is very happy with the player. 🗞 @berger_pj #BVB

Lille offensive player Matias Fernandez-Pardo is a potential target for Borussia Dortmund. The club has made enquiries about the player, but Lille are asking for €30 million. 🗞 @berger_pj #BVB

Borussia Dortmund will stick to their successful three-man defence system and will therefore not be actively seeking 'traditional' wingers. Instead, the club are looking for a number 10 who can also drift out wide. 🗞 @berger_pj #BVB
