BVB is working on the squad for the coming season. A transfer error should not be repeated.
Dortmund – Borussia Dortmund is lagging behind its own expectations in the Bundesliga. Qualifying for the Champions League is proving to be a tough battle because some Westphalia players are missing their best form.
BVB wants to correct transfer mistakes: Bad news for two stars
The bitter truth, however, is that significant mistakes were made in the composition of the squad. These should not be repeated. That’s why BVB wants to sign a “six” in the summer, reports Sport1 (more BVB transfer news at RUHR24).
Last year, the Westphalia team decided not to sign a defensive midfielder. Edson Alvarez, who holds this position, was about to move to the Ruhr area, but BVB suddenly distanced itself from the Mexican and instead extended Emre Can’s contract and even promoted him to captain.
BVB captain Emre Can is disappointed after an outstanding second half of the 2022/2023 season
Although Can had an outstanding second half of the season in 2023, he is no longer bringing BVB the stability it had hoped for. The 30-year-old has disappointed far too often over the course of the season so far and has particularly stood out for his hair-raising mistakes.
For Can, if BVB actually signs another “six,” it will be difficult for him to get a place in the starting line-up. Meanwhile, further competition would further worsen Salih Özcan’s situation.

Ex-BVB candidate Edson Alvarez impresses at West Ham United
The 26-year-old is only a reservist for Westphalia anyway. Nevertheless, Özcan recently made a decision about his future: he doesn’t want to leave BVB in the summer.
Particularly bitter for BVB: Alvarez quickly found his way at his new club West Ham United and impressed with top performances in London. His services were worth 38 million euros to the English – BVB didn’t want to pay that.
