Overview
- Lars Ricken said in a Sport Bild interview Wednesday that Dortmund is assessing many targets and is also evaluating Jadon Sancho.
- He dismissed links to Hoffenheim’s Fisnik Asllani and called a Nick Woltemade loan a cold lead, citing depth at striker with Serhou Guirassy and Fabio Silva.
- Recruitment is focused on a creator to replace Julian Brandt after the club chose not to extend his contract.
- Plans also target the defense because Niklas Süle will depart and Emre Can faces a longer absence.
- The summer budget is about €25 million unless sales raise it, and Sancho’s Manchester United deal ends after this season, which could make a free move feasible.
