🟡⚫ Dortmund failed to reach an agreement for Said El Malah

Borussia Dortmund have temporarily withdrawn from the race for Cologne forward Said El Mal. The clubs have not agreed on a price, and Cologne is unwilling to give up on the fee. According to Sky Germany, BVB have decided to take a break and regroup before trying again.

It is significant that even Jurgen Klopp has been caught up in the story. He publicly responded to rumors that he allegedly advised El Mal to move to Dortmund, calling it “a bit insulting”.

📊 For betting: Without a new striker, Dortmund’s attack may look less complete before the start of the season and the Super Cup against Bayern. It is worth being more careful about BVB’s goal totals in the first matches.
