Photo News: Dortmund only has about 30 million euros to sign a signing budget, and will give priority to introducing a central defender

According to Biography, Dortmund plans to sign a creative midfielder and a striker with a budget of just over 30 million euros. Now, their plan has changed and they focus on signing a central defender. In Dortmund's view, signing a new central defender not only needs to help the team at present, but also play a role in the medium and long term. In such cases, renting and buying out is their most likely choice.

Currently, Schlottbeck and Emre Jan are still recovering from injuries. The former is expected to return in early October, and the latter is not sure when he will return to the training ground due to groin problems. Filippo Mane performed well against Red and White Essen, but whether he could prove himself at a higher level in the Bundesliga is still unknown.

Therefore, Ricken, Kyle and Kovac listed the shortlist for central defenders, which included several players. The following are the candidates for Dortmund:

Lindelof (31): Although Lindelof is currently a free agent, bringing short-term help to the team is not in line with Dortmund's long-term plan.

Badai (25): Bade from Sevilla meets Dortmund's signing needs, but the transfer fee of 30 million euros is too high for them and needs to compete with Leverkusen.

Renato Vega (22 years old): Vega from Chelsea also meets the needs of new players in the center back, but the transfer fee of more than 25 million euros plus a high salary has become the biggest obstacle to the Bundesliga giants' signings.

La Croix (25): La Croix is very familiar with the Bundesliga. He was once a member of Wolfsburg, but it is still uncertain whether the 1.9-meter-high Frenchman meets Dortmund's future plans.

Juan Jimenez (19): This is a young central defender from Rosario Central. Although he was close to joining Dortmund, a serious knee injury made him no longer an option.

Dotter can find a suitable central defender by September 1st, and after all, they still need to introduce a midfielder and a striker, a difficult task with a budget of only about 30 million euros.
