Jayden Braaf hopes he will also be helped by Dortmund to become a famous player, and his dream is also Dortmund’s desire to buy him.

Sebastien Haller is a striker who left many impressions on the Ajax shirt last season. The 28-year-old forward has scored 34 goals in 42 appearances, including 11 in the Champions League – a number just behind Karim Benzema and Robert Lewandowski. He is expected to fill the void left by striker Haaland at Signal Iduna Park.
Karim Adeyemi

- Transfer from: RB Salzburg
- Position: striker
According to many sources, the football club has reached an agreement to recruit striker Karim Adeyemi from Red Bull Salzburg. The striker born in 2002 will join the Signal Iduna Park home team after this season ends.
The 20-year-old star possesses a fast, flexible kick, good dribbling ability, and a strong desire to win. With his impressive speed, Karim often moves to cut into the opponent’s penalty area before launching dangerous shots.
In the 2021/22 season, Karim Adeyemi emerged as one of the best young talents in Europe. The German striker has scored 21 goals and provided 7 assists in 41 games for Red Bull Salzburg in all competitions.
Nico Schlotterbeck
- Age: 23

Two English teams Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur also have plans to roll out the red carpet to recruit this 1999 central defender. However, Nico recently decided to join Dortmund, and at the same time refused an offer from the Bavarian Gray Lobster despite Bayern offering a higher salary than BVB. According to BILD, the German midfielder will join Dortmund on a contract worth 20 million euros.
Borussia Dortmund transfer out
Besides, this summer Dortmund will have a rather large squad purge as soon as about 6 players will have to leave. They are Nico Schulz, Manuel Akanji, Thorgan Hazard, Julian Brandt, Raphael Guerreiro and Felix Passlack.
The reason this group of players has to leave is that they are no longer important to the yellow-black team. Or more precisely, they are no longer in Dortmund’s plans for the 2022/23 season.
The Westfalenstadion Stadium team wants to quickly liquidate these players to make room for Borussia Dortmund transfer targets like Karim Adeyemi, Sebastien Haller, and Jayden Braaf, rookies they bought in the summer transfer window this year.
Borussia Dortmund transfer rumor 2023
Mohammed Kudus
Mohammed Kudus of AFC Ajax is a target for Borussia Dortmund. It was revealed last month that Sebastian Kehl, the sporting director, had already spoken with his agent about a prospective summer transfer. However, BILD is now asserting that a number of English Premier League clubs have entered the bidding to sign the highly regarded midfielder as a result of his great performances for Ghana at the FIFA World Cup.
The tabloid continues, “Borussia Dortmund could be priced out for a move for Kudus given the competition from Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle United, and Manchester United.”
Mohammed Kudus is having a standout season with Ajax and has scored ten goals in 21 appearances for the Dutch team in all competitions. Although he prefers to play as an attacking midfielder, he can also fill in as a false nine. Two and a half years remain on the former Nordsjaelland player’s current deal with Ajax.
In short, during this summer’s transfer window, Dortmund has been very active when successively bringing back many bright names to the Westfalenstadion. To follow and update more Dortmund transfer news, visit our website transfer in football.
