Borussia Dortmund has made an offer for Said El Mala in the past week. According to exclusive Sky information, the BVB offers 26 million euros fixed, plus eight million euros in easily achievable bonuses and another eight million euros in difficult-to-achieve bonuses. The 1. FC Köln is said to be irritated by the offer, as it is significantly below their own expectations. Brentford had previously offered around 50 million euros.
What happens now?
El Mala can imagine a transfer to Dortmund, but presents himself in training as fully focused. Trainer Rene Wagner emphasized that the offensive player gives every day gas and does not convey the impression of being mentally already at another club.
What does it mean for Borussia Dortmund?
The BVB hopes to secure the young offensive player for the future. El Mala is an important part of the team and could play a crucial role in the future.
What comes next?
The transfer of Martin James to the 1. FC Köln is already in preparation. The 18-year-old goalkeeper will transfer to the 1. FC Köln without a transfer fee and sign a contract until 2029. The medical check is scheduled for Friday.
Borussia Dortmund currently stands second in the Bundesliga, with 73 points from 34 games. The team has won four games and one draw in the last five games. The last win was on May 16 against Werder Bremen with 2:0. The title holder Bayern Munich is 16 points ahead of Borussia Dortmund.
