Bundesliga soccer team Borussia Dortmund is apparently threatened with the departure of a top talent. Several clubs from Italy are said to have already positioned themselves.
Central defender talent Filippo Mane makes those responsible at BVB fidget, according to the “Ruhr Nachrichten”.
According to the regional newspaper, the 19-year-old has received an offer to extend his contract. However, the youngster has not yet signed his signature.
Rather, Borussia Dortmund is threatened with the Italian’s departure at the end of the season when his current working paper expires. According to the report, the fact that Mane is hesitant is also due to the findings of the past few weeks.
Filippo Mane was publicly praised by BVB head coach Nuri Sahin during the international break in October and was also called up to the professional squad a total of seven times. However, the young defender has not played a single minute of play so far.
Injured again: missed first half of the season?
Given the staff shortage in the past few weeks, there would definitely have been opportunities. However, in the 3-1 defeat in Mainz, U23 teammate Yannik Lührs got his chance after captain Emre Can had to leave the field with a red card. This may have made Mane “thoughtful”, according to the “Ruhr Nachrichten”.
At the same time, there is the prospect of being able to start as a professional in his home country. The Italian U20 international is being courted by numerous Serie A clubs, the report continues. Mane can hold contract discussions with interested parties from January 1st.
Meanwhile, Filippo Mane was recently set back by an injury again, and the 19-year-old had been out many times since moving to the Revierklub in the winter of 2022. Before the second team’s game against Erzgebirge Aue (3:1) in the 3rd league, the defender suffered a calf injury, according to “Ruhr Nachrichten”.
Bitter: Apparently the first half of the season has now ended prematurely for the central defender. The club has not yet communicated an exact diagnosis.
