Borussia Dortmund is reportedly gearing up for a late transfer window blitz! With the deadline looming on September 1st, the club is looking to bolster its squad with not one, but potentially three new signings. Could this be the boost they need for a strong season in the Bundesliga and beyond?
Chelsea Stars in Dortmund's Sights
According to reports, Dortmund is in advanced talks to sign Chelsea duo Aaron Anselmino (20) and Carney Chukwuemeka (21). Sky reports that BVB is negotiating a permanent deal for Chukwuemeka, while Anselmino is eyed for a loan move. Anselmino, a promising defender, is currently valued at €8 million.
Striker Reinforcements on the Horizon
Adding to the excitement, a move for Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Fabio Silva (23) is also said to be nearing completion. Dortmund has been linked with Silva for weeks, and now it appears they've won the race for his signature, beating out competition from RB Leipzig and AS Roma. Silva is expected to provide valuable backup for star striker Serhou Guirassy.
Coach Niko Kovac highlighted Guirassy's importance, calling him the team's "life insurance." The potential arrival of Silva would certainly ease the pressure and add much-needed depth to the attacking options.
Defensive Options Explored
In addition to Anselmino, Dortmund is also reportedly considering Charlie Cresswell (23) from FC Toulouse as an alternative defensive reinforcement. Reports suggest that BVB has already made an offer for Cresswell, although it fell short of Toulouse's valuation. Cresswell, a former England U21 international, is valued at €10 million.
A Busy End to the Transfer Window
With potential deals for Anselmino, Chukwuemeka, and Silva in the works, and Cresswell as a backup option, Dortmund fans can expect a frantic final few days of the transfer window. These signings could prove crucial as the team aims to compete on all fronts this season. Will they secure all their targets?
