Niclas Fullkrug
December 2025

West Ham are ready to sell out of favour striker Niclas Fullkrug and have a broad agreement with Wolfsburg, but the move is on hold while the Bundesliga club complete their sporting department reshuffle and formally install Pirmin Schwegler as sporting director. Fullkrug has struggled with injuries and system fit since joining from Borussia Dortmund and is now surplus to requirements, with West Ham keen to recover funds and free wages. Wolfsburg see him as a key reinforcement, yet no major signings can be approved until Schwegler officially takes charge, leaving the deal in limbo and inviting rival interest.

Cole Campbell
November 2025

Nineteen-year-old winger Cole Campbell has formally requested to leave Borussia Dortmund in January, telling the club he needs regular first team minutes after managing only five senior appearances, despite breaking through last season and representing the United States at under 20 level. Via his representatives, Campbell has signalled that a winter move best serves his development, with Sky Sports Deutschland reporting official talks over a transfer request. Interest has emerged from Club Brugge, Anderlecht, FC Midtjylland and 2.Bundesliga side SV Elversberg, as Dortmund weigh up whether a loan or permanent sale is the best solution.

Dortmund under pressure as Nico Schlotterbeck stalls on new deal

Nico Schlotterbeck
November 2025

Borussia Dortmund face a growing dilemma over Nico Schlotterbeck as the defender hesitates over a new deal while Bayern Munich and Liverpool circle, leaving the club worried they could lose a key centre back despite offering him a pay rise and possible captaincy in future seasons. Schlotterbeck’s contract runs until 2027 yet talks have stalled, driven by doubts about Dortmund’s long term title prospects and style of play after he said the team must play more football. Kovac insists he can only show appreciation while Sebastian Kehl wants the situation resolved by Christmas to avoid destabilising the squad.

Angelo Stiller (Stuttgart)
November 2025

Stuttgart playmaker Angelo Stiller is attracting serious interest from Real Madrid, Manchester United, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund after an outstanding season, although sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth insists there have been no formal offers and says it is too early to speculate. Wohlgemuth acknowledged that Stiller’s performances and potential World Cup prospects naturally draw heavyweight attention, but stressed the midfielder remains under contract and that Stuttgart are simply enjoying his influence for now while accepting that elite clubs will keep him under close watch.

Adeyemi chooses Arsenal project over Manchester United after weapons fine sto

Karim Adeyemi
November 2025

Adeyemi is reported to favour a move to Arsenal over Manchester United, with the Dortmund forward telling intermediaries that Mikel Arteta’s project is his first choice as the Bundesliga club set a £75m valuation that already exceeds United’s planned outlay. United’s early talks with Jorge Mendes faded once Adeyemi made his preference clear, while off the pitch he publicly apologised for receiving a knuckleduster and taser in an online “mystery box,” accepting a heavy fine and calling the episode a reckless mistake he vows not to repeat.

Newcastle join giants’ chase for AZ star Kees Smit as midfield rebuild looms

Kees Smit (AZ Alkmaar)
November 2025

Newcastle United are pushing into the race for Kees Smit (AZ Alkmaar), the 19-year-old midfielder whose rise from academy talent to Youth League standout and Under 19 European champion has attracted serious interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. After scoring from halfway against Barcelona and starring at the Under 19 Euros, Smit has passed 50 senior games and drawn praise from Ronald Koeman (Netherlands). Newcastle, led by sporting director Ross Wilson (Newcastle United), hope regular Premier League minutes and a clear midfield role will beat richer rivals.

Europe’s elite circle as Hertha prodigy Kennet Eichhorn’s clause comes to light

Kennet Eichhorn (Hertha Berlin)
November 2025

A newly revealed release clause has alerted Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. The 16-year-old midfielder broke 2. Bundesliga age records, rapidly moving from a first pro deal to regular starts after pre-season promise translated into senior impact. Injury turbulence around Hertha’s midfield opened a pathway, which Eichhorn seized to start eight of his 10 appearances. With a clause in play next summer, suitors weigh immediate integration versus staged development, while Hertha prepare renewal tactics to protect value amid accelerating interest.

Schlotterbeck stalls Dortmund extension amid Kovac rift, Bayern and Liverpool on alert

Nico Schlotterbeck (Borussia Dortmund)
November 2025

Schlotterbeck is reluctant to extend beyond 2027, unhappy with Niko Kovac’s pragmatic style after recent setbacks, per German reports. Dortmund have offered a raise and term to 2030, but the centre-back remains unconvinced as Bayern Munich and Liverpool monitor developments. CEO Lars Ricken signalled talks won’t drag on indefinitely, hinting at a winter decision if tensions persist. Dortmund view Schlotterbeck as a defensive pillar; suitors see immediate fit. Outcome likely hinges on either a renewed role under Kovac or a sale pathway.

Haaland sets unique UCL scoring streak across three clubs

Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
November 2025

Haaland became the first player to score in five consecutive Champions League games for three different clubs, netting City’s second after Phil Foden’s opener. The milestone follows prior five-game streaks with Salzburg and Dortmund, underscoring his sustained European efficiency. City manipulated wide isolations through Jeremy Doku to penetrate Dortmund’s block, creating predictable cutback lanes Haaland attacks best. With City unbeaten in the group, his movement across the near-post and penalty-spot channels continues to convert low-touch, high-xG sequences into reliable returns.

Dortmund bend policy to keep Adeyemi

Karim Adeyemi (Borussia Dortmund)
October 2025

Dortmund are accelerating renewal talks with Jorge Mendes to extend Karim Adeyemi beyond 2027, potentially to 2030–31, with a salary bump and a rare release clause. The club has historically shunned clauses but previously granted exceptions (Erling Haaland, Serhou Guirassy). Speed of negotiations signals intent to protect asset value and squad continuity. Dortmund will balance wage structure and resale protection by setting a high, time-phased clause and performance triggers. Mendes wants flexibility for elite moves; Dortmund want cost certainty and buyout control. Agreement likely hinges on add-ons (goals, minutes, Champions League progress) and image-rights harmony to avoid precedent risks with other young attackers.
