Borussia Dortmund is planning a major overhaul this summer. The club's secret squad plans aim to bring the team back to the top. With 73 points and a second-place finish in the Bundesliga, the BVB is now looking to invest.
What are the BVB's plans?
The BVB wants to fill up to eight positions in the summer. Due to the departures of Niklas Süle and Aaron Anselmino, as well as the uncertain health situation with Emre Can, at least one new central defender is needed.
Who's coming and who's going?
Names that have been circulating recently include Marcos Senesi and Benjamin Pavard. Ramon Hendriks would only be considered as a left-footed player if Nico Schlotterbeck were to leave.
| Player | Age | Club |
|---|---|---|
| Marcos Senesi | 28 | Bournemouth |
| Benjamin Pavard | 30 | Marseille |
What's the current situation?
The BVB is currently in second place in the Bundesliga with 73 points. The last game was won 2-0 against Werder Bremen.
What's next?
The BVB wants to focus on fast wing players again. The free agent Jadon Sancho is still on the radar despite his injury. If Karim Adeyemi were to leave, it would bring in much-needed money, but also create a need for a new player in that position.
The BVB has already made two future transfers with the South American talents Kaua Prates and Justin Lerma. The big question remains, which transfers will really take the team to the next level.
The contract extension negotiations with Schlotterbeck and also Adeyemi are ongoing. Key player Felix Nmecha has already been tied to the club until 2030 by former manager Kehl.
The BVB currently has 70 goals scored and 34 conceded, with a goal difference of +36. The last five games have resulted in 4 wins and 1 loss, with a current form of WWLWL.
The BVB is 16 points behind leaders Bayern München and has a recent form of 4W-0D-1L in the last 5 games, with the last result being a 2-0 win against Werder Bremen on 2026-05-16.
