BVB bomb storm! Decision about player changes is imminent!

While the winter transfer window for the Bundesliga opens on January 1st, Borussia Dortmund is rather cautious. Loud Ruhr24 BVB plans not to sign any new players during this transfer period. Instead, some kickers could leave the club to get more playing time.

The rumor mill is churning, especially around talented but dissatisfied players like Julien Duranville and Cole Campbell. Duranville, who hasn't gotten the playing time he wants, is seriously considering leaving the club. A loan could be a solution here to give him the necessary match practice. Campbell could also try a loan to another club in order to develop further.

In focus: Salih Özcan

Another player whose future is uncertain is Salih Özcan. The midfielder is apparently about to move to Besiktas Istanbul, although according to Bild this is not yet a done deal. Despite a lucrative contract until the summer of 2026, Özcan could ultimately make the move to Turkey, even if his annual salary of five million euros represents a significant hurdle. Sports director Sebastian Kehl speaks of a possible squad restructuring, but no major transfers appear to be planned.

Perspectives and challenges

In addition, there are concerns about the contract negotiations with Nico Schlotterbeck, which could be further complicated by the DFB Cup exit. BVB might also not be able to extend two of their highly paid players, which could shake up the squad again.

Reinforcements and departures

Although Borussia Dortmund has strengthened itself with a total of 100 million euros in the summer of 2023 - including expensive transfers such as Jobe Bellingham for 30.5 million euros - some of the new additions have not yet developed as hoped. The return of loanee Aarón Anselmino to Chelsea could also become an interesting side note in this transfer window.

There are also ongoing rumors about Jadon Sancho, who is gaining form after a rocky start at Aston Villa. Such developments are of interest to BVB, especially with regard to possible returns or when negotiations about potential departures, as in the case of Guirassy, ​​also appear interesting.

So the question remains: What lies ahead for us in the new year? All eyes are on what's happening around Borussia Dortmund as the club finalizes its plans for the winter transfer window. Facts, rumors and forecasts – the coming weeks definitely promise excitement!
