Door shut on Kenan Yıldız
Borussia Dortmund asked and Juventus said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Borussia Dortmund bid $6.1M for Youssoufa Moukoko
The offer went to FC Copenhagen this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.
Boardroom24 Aug 2026
Borussia Dortmund go back to the board over Florian Wirtz
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $140.2M — a club that wants Florian Wirtz enough to be asked twice.

A loan move for Deniz Undav is in the works

“The easiest signature of my career.” David Lang and Borussia Dortmund agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The Felix Nmecha talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Borussia Dortmund know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
In brief
