+++ FAST FIX +++

Dortmund will probably give Reyna

Giovanni Reyna is about to go on loan to Nottingham Forest. As several media outlets have consistently reported, the 21-year-old attacker is already with the English first division club to complete his medical check. According to media reports, a fee of one million euros will be due for the six-month loan, and Nottingham will therefore cover the entire salary.

"It's true that there are considerations, but it's not final yet," said BVB coach Edin Terzic at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon. It is “obvious that Gio is not entirely satisfied with his working hours.” But you are confident in your abilities. According to Terzic, the timing is unfortunate because of the current plight of injuries. »But if there is a decision, it has to be in this transfer window. And there will be players coming back in the next few days.”

Reyna moved from New York City FC to Dortmund's A youth team in 2019 and shortly afterwards made the jump to the professional squad. In his fifth season since then, he hasn't made his big breakthrough yet. After being injured at the beginning of this season, he has only made 14 appearances in the 23 competitive games since then, never playing longer than 45 minutes and failing to score or provide an assist.

Bremen gets Alvero

Werder Bremen apparently has a new player for the central midfield with the 21-year-old Skelly Alvero. As the French sports newspaper "L'Équipe" and "Bild" reported, after weeks of talks there was an oral agreement between the SVW and Olympique Lyon.

"L'Équipe" wrote that the 2.02 meter tall Frenchman should be loaned out until the end of the season. The transfer therefore includes a purchase option for which Werder would have to pay between four and five million euros.

+++ RUMORS +++

Dahoud before Bundesliga return

Former German international Mohamed Dahoud is set to join VfB Stuttgart. As “Sky” reported, Stuttgart are already in advanced talks with Brighton & Hove Albion from the Premier League.

The midfielder, who only moved there from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2023, currently plays no role at the English club. The international expert for football transfers Fabrizio Romano wrote that Dahoud should come to VfB with a purchase option of nine to ten million euros.

Schalke strengthens the defense

The Frenchman Brandon Soppy will play on Schalke's right defense in the future. As several Florian Plettenberg from "Sky" reported, the 21-year-old should be loaned from Atalanta Bergamo for six months. “Le Parisien” confirmed the rumors.

Soppy currently plays for Turin, but is actually under contract with Bergamo. However, the French junior international does not get the playing time he wants in Turin.
