BVB, News: Adeyemi announces a somersault celebration

BVB fans can look forward to the first goal from newcomer Karim Adeyemi. To the question of picture On Sundaywhether he will show a jubilation somersault, the striker replied: “Why not? Wouldn’t it be boring if everyone cheered at the same time?”

However, he first wanted to ask permission from coach Edin Terzic, because the jubilant somersault is not well received by every coach. “After my first Champions League goal, I scored one before, but my coach Jesse Marsch gave me one straight away,” recalled the former RB Salzburg player. He should rather stay on the ground. In addition, the risk of injury would be too great.

In Dortmund, the 20-year-old now wants to arrive and assert himself. “The quality in this squad and in the league is very, very high,” says Adeyemi. The German international switched from RB Salzburg to BVB for a fee of 30 million euros. He has been following the black and yellow since he was young. “I already identify with BVB,” says Adeyemi, looking forward to the coming season.

BVB: High-intensity training camp in Bad Ragaz

The new season is just around the corner, the training camp in Bad Ragaz is over. The team left on Saturday. What was particularly striking was the high intensity of the training. Several players stressed to the Ruhr newshow exhausting the time had been. “To be honest, I’m dead. The fact that the coach said that we were training hard was definitely not a bluff,” said Julian Brandt after the 0-2 defeat by FC Villarreal.

For Terzic, the nine days in Switzerland were overshadowed above all by Sebastien Haller’s diagnosis. “But nobody will pay any more attention to that on Friday,” the 39-year-old looks forward again at the start of the season in the cup against 1860 Munich.

BVB: Donyell Malen gets special praise

An option up front would then be Donyell Malen. The Dutchman received special praise from Terzic. “He put in a lot of effort, for the fact that he was out for so long it looked really good,” said the BVB coach with satisfaction. Terzic especially liked working against the ball.

The 23-year-old struggled with the consequences of a tendon injury in the final phase of last season and was only able to play 27 Bundesliga games. At the start of the training camp, Malen had to switch to individual training due to an injury. But now he seems to be getting fit in time.

Haller misses a record: This is how Dortmund’s most expensive transfers turned out

1/25

Sebastien Haller takes over from Erling Haaland at BVB. 31 million euros plus 3.5 million in bonuses flow for the striker at Ajax Amsterdam. He joins behind record deal Ousmane Dembele. This is how Dortmund’s most expensive purchases turned out.

2/25

THOMAS DELANEY (2018/19, 20 million euros from Werder Bremen): Made a good start in his strong debut season, had to sit out almost completely in his second year due to injury. Joined Sevilla FC in 2021. Grade: 3.5.

3/25

MAXIMILIAN PHILIPP (2017/18, 20 million euros from SC Freiburg): He was unable to confirm his strong performances for Freiburg in Dortmund. After two years (19 points in 51 games) he went to Moscow for 20 million, now in Wolfsburg. grade: 5

4/25

AXEL WITSEL (2018/19, 20 million euros from Tianjin Tianhai): Placed under Favre thanks to strong performances in his first year, then his claim as a leading player became less and less fair and he left this summer. Grade: 3.5.

5/25

NICO SCHLOTTERBECK (2022/23, 20 million euros from SC Freiburg): One of the shooting stars of the past season. The national player is to form the new central defender duo together with Niklas Süle. No rating.

6/25

ERLING HAALAND (2019/20, 20 million euros from Red Bull Salzburg): 85 goals in 88 games speak for themselves. With his move to Manchester City for 85 million euros, BVB made a good buck in the summer. A great deal. Note 1.

7/25

JADON SANCHO (2017/18, 20.6 million euros from Manchester City): Enchanted with his dribbling. Scored a total of 50 goals, assisted 65 more and transferred £85m to Manchester when he left. Note 1.

8/25

PACO ALCACER (2019/20, 21 million euros from FC Barcelona): First shone on loan, then was committed, but only stayed for half a year. Sold to Villarreal for a profit of two million euros. Grade: 2.

9/25

MANUEL AKANJI (2017/18, €21.5m from FC Basel): Acted mostly as a reliable central defender, although not always flawless. Might go this summer with a suitable offer. Note 3.

10/25

MARIO GÖTZE (2016/17, 22 million euros from FC Bayern Munich): The returnee was never able to meet the high expectations. Many fans still resented his farewell in 2013. Found its old form in Eindhoven, now new in Frankfurt. grade: 4

11/25

JUDE BELLINGHAM (2020/21, 25 million euros from Birmingham City): Pretty mellow on the pitch from a young age. Away from that, he overshot the finish line a bit in the Causa Zwayer. Bellingham owns the future. Note 1.

12/25

ANDRIY YARMOLENKO (2017/18, 25 million euros from Dynamo Kyiv): Should follow in Dembele’s footsteps, but above all revealed playful deficiencies. After just one season, scoring six goals and six assists in 26 games, he joined West Ham. grade: 5

13/25

EMRE CAN (2020/21, €25m from Juventus): First loaned, then committed. Always oscillating between starting eleven and bench, as well as between defense and midfield. Gets stuck, but also error-prone. Grade: 3.5.

14/25

JULIAN BRANDT (2019/20, 25 million euros from Bayer Leverkusen): Still looking for the right position after three years. His shape curve was up and down. Grade: 4.5.

15/25

MARCIO AMOROSO (2001/02, 25.5 million euros from AC Parma): The then record deal led BVB to the UEFA Cup final with his goals. But after serious injuries and a public mud fight, his contract was terminated in 2004. Grade: 2.

16/25

NICO SCHULZ (2019/20, 25.5 million euros from TSG Hoffenheim): An expensive misunderstanding, repeatedly thrown back by injuries. Showed solid performances on the pitch at best. The signs point to separation. grade: 6

17/25

THORGAN HAZARD (2019/20, 25.5 million euros from Borussia Mönchengladbach): Played a good first season with 21 points in 43 competitive games, then with heavily fluctuating performances. Grade: 3.5.

18/25

HENRIKH MKHITARYAN (2013/14, 27.5 million euros from Shakhtar Donetsk): The Armenian was a top performer in his three years at BVB, contributing to 90 goals in 140 games. Then moved on to ManUnited and Roma. Grade: 2.

19/25

ABDOU DIALLO (2018/19, 28 million euros from FSV Mainz 05): The central defender often had to help out on the left back and was not happy in Dortmund. Sold to PSG in 2019 with a profit of four million euros. Grade: 4.5.

20/25

ANDRE SCHÜRRLE (2016/17, 30 million euros from VfL Wolfsburg): The most expensive BVB purchase at the time flopped. Was repeatedly slowed down by injuries, only had 18 goals in 51 competitive games. Quit completely in 2020. grade: 6

21/25

DONYELL MALEN (2021/22, 30 million euros from PSV Eindhoven): Has not yet fully convinced in his changeable debut season with nine goals and six assists in 37 appearances. grade: 4

22/25

KARIM ADEYEMI (2022/23, 30 million euros from Red Bull Salzburg): Should help on the offensive from the coming season to compensate for the departure of Erling Haaland. No rating.

23/25

MATS HUMMELS (2019/20, 30.5 million euros from FC Bayern Munich): After his return, he immediately took on the role of leading player again. Recently, however, he was increasingly struggling with knee problems. Grade: 2.

24/25

SEBASTIEN HALLER (2022/23, 31 million euros from Ajax Amsterdam): Possible bonus payments can increase the sum to 34.5 million euros. The ex-Frankfurter is not the record purchase. He is to replace Erling Haaland. Without rating.

25/25

OUSMANE DEMBELE (2016/17, 35 million euros from Stade Rennes): shone with 32 points in 50 games, then ingloriously forced his departure to Barca with a strike, ensuring a whopping transfer plus of over 100 million. Note 1.
