Marcel Sabitzer: Will the millionaire stay despite BVB's performance crisis?
What is currently happening at BVB? Marcel Sabitzer got off to a bumpy start for Borussia. Loud Ruhr24 The Austrian international found it difficult to bring his performances onto the pitch last season. In a total of 43 games he only scored one goal and had no assists. Sabitzer also showed little assertiveness at the Club World Cup and made a few mistakes that did not benefit him or the team.
Financially, Sabitzer is a big factor for BVB: He earns around 7.5 million euros per year, making him one of the club's top earners. But BVB's squad plan, especially with the signing of Jobe Bellingham, raises questions. Borussia is planning to rejuvenate its midfield and whether Sabitzer can play a long-term role is questionable.
Contract and transfer history
His contract runs until 2027 after Dortmund transferred a whopping 19 million euros to Bayern Munich for the midfielder two years ago. However, a sale could only occur at a loss, making it complicated for another club to take over his salary. Everything indicates that Sabitzer will stay despite his difficulties, similar to his teammates Julian Brandt and Emre Can, who are also not considering a move.
An exciting aspect is the secret title clause that was recorded when he moved in the amount of 20 million euros (including possible bonuses). Loud Sports picture If the club becomes champions, BVB will have to transfer an additional 2 million euros to Bayern Munich. This regulation ensures that Borussia's ambitions are put to the test in two respects, especially after the last 2-2 draw against Mainz, which indicates their championship goals.
Future outlook
Despite all these challenges, Sabitzer has emphasized several times that he is comfortable with his current contract and is not considering a change. This confidence could help the player improve his performance and finally realize the potential that those responsible saw when he signed him. Sebastian Kehl, BVB's sporting director, was convinced of the idea of bringing Sabitzer into the team as he brings the sought-after experience and the profile of a central midfielder. It remains to be seen whether the “small” pressure of the title claim can give him an additional incentive.
The coming months could be crucial for Marcel Sabitzer's career in Dortmund. Will it live up to expectations or will it continue to fall short of its potential? The answers to these questions will be important not only for the player himself, but also for the entire future of BVB.
