BVB apparently in advanced talks with ex-Barca striker Yusuf Demir

The offensive man had to end his loan at FC Barcelona prematurely in January. Is Yusuf Demir drawn to Borussia Dortmund in the summer?

Borussia Dortmund is apparently in advanced talks with Rapid Wien attacker Yusuf Demir. This is reported by the American TV station ESPN and cites sources from Barcelona.

Only last summer did the 18-year-old join Barca on loan, with the Catalans even securing a €10m purchase option. However, Demir failed to make his mark at the Blaugrana and had to end the loan early after six short spells in LaLiga.

The Austrian is now back at his training club, but could move on to Dortmund in the summer. The Westphalians are said to have had their eye on Demir for a long time.

At the age of 16, Demir made the leap to the pros at Rapid and has since scored six goals in 33 professional appearances. In March of last year he also made his debut for the Austrian national team. The winger is under contract in Vienna until 2024.
