A possible signing of David Raum could cost Borussia Dortmund even more than previously thought. According to information from the ‘kicker’, the left-back’s contractually anchored exit clause will not take effect until next year, and not this year as previously rumored.
As a result, TSG Hoffenheim sets the price for space even higher. The trade journal speaks of 40 million euros, with reference to the fact that only one “significantly higher sum than the later fixed fee” of 30 million that could persuade Hoffenheim to sell this summer.

However, the truth is that the player himself sees his future with an internationally represented club – preferably at BVB. Even national coach Hansi Flick said in the course of the most recent international matches that space was still struggling with the high rhythm.
In Dortmund it is now about creating space in the squad and in the budget. Raphaël Guerreiro (28) and Nico Schulz (29) could or should be sold for this purpose. Intensive negotiations with Hoffenheim could then follow. It remains to be seen whether they will then insist on the 40 million euros mentioned above.
