Borussia Dortmund is facing a departure from their squad: 19-year-old winger Ousmane Diallo will leave the BVB and join Parma Calcio. The deal is already complete, according to transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio. Meanwhile, the BVB is struggling to finalize the transfer of Said El Mala, which is stalling at several points. After a disappointing season, the transfer rumors around the BVB remain hot.
Who is leaving the BVB?
Ousmane Diallo will leave the BVB early. The 19-year-old winger is joining Parma Calcio, as reported by transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio. The Italian club prevailed against several competitors. Diallo, who had one more year on his contract in Dortmund, is the next young player to leave the BVB.
Why is the El Mala deal stalling?
Borussia Dortmund is still trying to sign Said El Mala from Köln. However, the deal is stalling at several points. RB Leipzig could thwart the BVB's plans. Additionally, there are reports of curious clauses in the contract that are complicating the transfer.
What does this mean for the BVB squad?
After a disappointing season with only 64 points and a 2nd place finish in the Bundesliga (19 wins, 7 draws, 3 losses), the BVB squad remains under pressure. With the departure of Diallo and the stalled transfers for El Mala and Konstantinos Karetsas, the question remains how the BVB will fill the gaps. The next opponent is VfB Stuttgart on February 13, 2027.
What other rumors are there?
Jadon Sancho could move to Saudi Arabia instead of returning to the BVB. Julian Brandt, who is still without a club, is seen as the most likely target for the Premier League. Additionally, there are rumors about a World Cup star from Senegal who is on Dortmund's list.
