According to media information, Borussia Dortmund will sign Anthony Modeste as a replacement for the seriously ill Sébastien Haller. BVB has therefore submitted an offer to 1. FC Köln that there is a “fundamental agreement” with the striker. But fans collect money for a Ronaldo commitment.
According to media reports, Anthony Modeste should close the gap at Borussia Dortmund that arose after new signing Sébastien Haller had a tumor. As reported by Sport1, the Bundesliga soccer club has already agreed on a one-year contract with the 34-year-old attacker and submitted an official offer to league rivals 1. FC Köln.
According to information from the "Express", both clubs are still a little different in their ideas about the amount of the fee. Accordingly, Cologne demand five million euros for the Frenchman, who has a contract until 2023 and scored 20 goals for FC last season.
Modeste would come close to the requirement profile of Borussia, which has been looking for a similarly beefy attacker with a strong header like Haller for days, but reportedly does not want to spend more than 10 million euros for the entire package. Sports director Sebastian Kehl promised the end of the search on Saturday evening after the 1-0 (1-0) win over Leverkusen: “Of course we have created a few options and are on the right track. Something will probably happen – I think very soon ."
Haller, who was signed by Ajax Amsterdam for 31 million euros as the successor to Erling Haaland (Manchester City), will be missing from Dortmund for months after his operation. Recently, names like Edinson Cavani and Memphis Depay have also been circulating in Dortmund.
Some BVB fans are also raising money to sign soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. With a crowdfunding campaign, the organizer has set itself the very ambitious goal of collecting a total of 40 million euros in order to be able to lure the Portuguese from Manchester United to the Bundesliga. If the hoped-for sum is not reached or a change does not come about anyway, nobody has to pay anything. According to the status, the campaign should run from Saturday to October 1st, the summer transfer window closes on September 1st. The 37-year-old Ronaldo, on the other hand, is said to want to leave Manchester because he wants to continue playing in the Champions League. The English Premier League club failed to qualify, while BVB, as German runners-up, is playing in the European premier class this season.
