Marcel Sabitzer to Borussia Dortmund from Bayern Munich

Borussia Dortmund have reached an agreement with Bayern Munich to sign midfielder Marcel Sabitzer for €19 million. The deal is expected to be finalized later this week, subject to medical examinations, according to Fabrizio Romano.

28-year-old Sabitzer joined Bayern Munich from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2021, but he struggled to make an impact at the club. He made 28 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals and providing two assists.

Sabitzer’s Rejected Manchester United Return

Marcel Sabitzer was rumored to make a return to Man United a couple of weeks ago. However, the club decided against Sabitzer's homecoming, paving the way for Borussia Dortmund to complete the €19m deal.

The move to Borussia Dortmund is a big boost for Sabitzer, and it is expected that he will make a huge impact in his new team. Sabitzer is known for his versatility and his ability to play in multiple midfield positions, making him a valuable asset to the Dortmund team.

Dortmund is looking to add to their midfield after losing Jude Bellingham to Real Madrid this summer. Sabitzer is a versatile player who can play in a number of positions, and he is expected to be a key player for Dortmund in the upcoming season.

Here are some of the key details of the deal:

  • Dortmund will pay €19 million for Sabitzer, with add-ons potentially taking the total fee to €23 million.
  • Sabitzer has signed a four-year contract with Dortmund, tying him to the club until 2026.
  • Sabitzer will be presented as a Dortmund player later this week.

What does this mean for Dortmund?

The signing of Sabitzer is a major coup for Dortmund. He is a talented player who has shown his quality in the Bundesliga. He will add more creativity and depth to Dortmund's midfield, and he will be a valuable asset for the club in the upcoming season.

What does this mean for Bayern Munich?

The sale of Sabitzer is a bit of a surprise. He was only at the club for one season, and he did not play as much as the club would have liked. However, the €19 million fee is a decent amount of money for a player who was not in the club's plans.

What does this mean for the Bundesliga?

The signing of Sabitzer by Dortmund makes the Bundesliga even more competitive. Borussia Dortmund is now one of the favorites to win the title, and they will be a major threat to Bayern Munich. The signing of Sabitzer is a sign that Dortmund is ambitious, and they are not going to give up without a fight.
