Alarm level red at BVB: goalkeeper Lotka plans the finish!

Dortmund, Deutschland - goalkeeper veteran in danger! Borussia Dortmund faces a turbulent time in the goalkeeper position. Gregor Kobel, who is considered one of the best keepers in Europe, could soon leave the association. The Swiss switched from Stuttgart to the black and yellow in 2021 and continuously established himself as a key player. Despite an extension of the contract by 2028, Kobel sees the future bleak, especially when the BVB again misses the Champions League qualification. According to a report by Onefootball, Chelsea could be a serious prospect for the keeper who would be willing to pay a transfer between 70 and 80 million euros.

Marcel Lotka's farewell?

While Kobel's situation remains tense, Marcel Lotka also plays a central role in the talks. The young keeper, who moved from Hertha to Dortmund in 2022, sees himself exposed to the strong competition and plans his departure. The sporting director of the U23 confirmed that Lotka will probably change in the coming summer because he does not hope for a realistic perspective at BVB. The 1. FC Köln is considered a potential buyer for the talented goalkeeper talent, which was able to prove itself in the third division, but has little chance of a place in the professional squad.

The chances that Dortmund can win important titles are also critical. After a disappointing fifth place in the last Bundesliga season and a challenging current placement, the situation gains a disturbing note for the club and its keeper. Without Champions League football, both players and those responsible face huge challenges. This not only stirs up the unrest in the team, but could also lead to an actual loss of key players such as Kobel, as the reporting of the vests clarifies.
