squad planning and challenges

Borussia Dortmund's squad planning raises many questions in front of the FIFA club World Cup in the USA. After a solid fourth place in the Bundesliga and the qualification for the Champions League, the team under Kovac would like to stay on the road to success. Sports director Sebastian Kehl is faced with a challenge because the squad still has a few gaps. New signing Jobe Bellingham, who was signed by Sunderland for 30.5 million euros, is already in the line -up for the tournament. ran.de

In addition, there is speculation about potential departures in the squad. Players like Niklas Süle, Julian Brandt and Emre Can have contract periods by 2026 and could also be a seller. Emre Can in particular is associated with a move to Cologne or Galatasaray. The situation around Youssoufa Moukoko and Sebastien Haller, both of whom are awarded, also indicates that Dortmund has difficulty finding suitable successors for his strikers.

While Dortmund focuses on the upcoming games and tries to overcome the difficulties, Marcel Sabitzer remains a central part of the team that is determined to successfully cut off at the club World Cup. Despite all the rumors about possible transfers, he is determined to assert his place in the squad and contribute to the team.
