4 Smart Midfield Transfer Options To Refresh Borussia Dortmund’s Aging Core: Javi Guerra, Kenneth Taylor, Maurits Kjaergaard, Nadiem Amiri – Scout Report

Borussia Dortmund are in a pretty rough phase right now.

In the 2022/23 season, the club was only one game away from winning the Bundesliga title and ending FC Bayerns streak, but failed to win against FSV Mainz at home, ending the season with huge disappointment.

An even harsher loss was that of their star player after that season.

Young English superstar midfielder Jude Bellingham left the team to join Spanish side Real Madrid, leaving a huge hole in the heart of the team.

Dortmund tried to find a replacement in Marcel Sabitzer and Felix Nmecha, but the Austrian, who has now turned 31, suffered a knee injury in their game against RB Leipzig, while Nmecha also struggles with injuries.

All the other midfielders around Bellingham dropped in their performances after the Englishman left Dortmund, especially captain Emre Can, who has trouble with his poorly ageing game and is not playing his best football right now.

The club attempted to revamp its midfield, but summer signing Pascal Groß has not had the desired impact, and winter loanee Carney Chukwuemeka is currently receiving minimal playing time and is expected to leave again in the summer.

In this data and tactical analysis, we will establish a profile close to Jude Bellingham and, from there, examine four different midfielders who would elevate Borussia Dortmund’s midfield this summer.

His passing and technical ability definitely stand out.
