BVB plans with Haller: future in Dortmund or move to Frankfurt?

BVB is facing an exciting summer with numerous transfer opportunities that could have a significant impact on the club's future. In recent days there have been a lot of rumors about Sébastien Haller and Cole Campbell, two players who will be on the radar in the next few weeks. [Transfermarkt] reports that Haller (31) is definitely considered a candidate for a change, in keeping with his changeable time in Dortmund. However, staying in the Ruhr area cannot be ruled out if the right buyer fails to find the right buyer.

With a view to the upcoming season, those responsible are worried about squad planning and possible departures. Haller, who was most recently on loan at FC Utrecht where he scored four goals in 16 games, seems to be looking for new challenges. It remains to be seen whether he still has a great career ahead of him after his battle with cancer, which was diagnosed in 2022. However, coach Niko Kovac has confidence in his abilities and believes Haller can be brought back into shape. His fitness level after hard work during the Club World Cup in the USA speaks for him.

Campbell in the focus of Frankfurt

Another name that keeps coming up is Cole Campbell (19), who is on the list at Eintracht Frankfurt. Apparently BVB has clear ideas about his future: a move within the Bundesliga should not take place on loan because they fear that Campbell might not get enough playing time. Instead, according to [90min], BVB is seeking a fixed fee of more than 5 million euros in order to avoid losing the talented youngster, who is longing for a change of scenery due to a lack of prospects and the relegation of the second team to the regional league.

The situation surrounding the players is made even more complicated by the need for targeted reinforcements in the squad. BVB does not want any significant upheavals, but rather relies on young, promising players. The signing of Jobe Bellingham for €30.5 million from AFC Sunderland could be seen as a first step in the right direction.

Squad restructuring and departures

In the course of squad planning, some departures have also become apparent. Marcel Lotka was released on a free transfer and Youssoufa Moukoko moved to FC Copenhagen for 5 million euros. Moukoko's departure also saves BVB 8.5 million euros in annual salary.

But that doesn't mean that important personalities like Julian Brandt and Serhou Guirassy don't also cause discussions. While Guirassy is planned as a regular player, Brandt remains for the time being, while Salih Özcan and Gio Reyna are on the brink. Özcan could be sold for around 5 million euros, which would relieve BVB's already deep coffers.

The coming weeks should be exciting for BVB fans. The course is now being set for a successful 2025/2026 season. It remains exciting to see how the transfer rumors will materialize and which faces will leave or join the club. The developments surrounding Haller and Campbell could be crucial for the composition of the squad.
