BVB: Probably still no offers for Manuel Akanji

Borussia Dortmund seems to have still not received any offers for Manuel Akanji. That reports the picture. Because the contract of the 26-year-old central defender expires in the summer of 2023 and he refuses to extend it, BVB wants to sell him.

According to the report, Arsenal and Juventus are interested. Dortmund is said to be demanding a transfer fee of at least 20 million euros – and apparently expects a sale. The reason for this is Akanji’s desire to get regular match practice before the World Cup in Kater.

Borussia Dortmund: focus is on sales

After the numerous commitments, Borussia Dortmund’s focus is now on thinning out the squad. Noisy picture Nico Schulz, Emre Can and Raphael Guerreiro could be sold. Of the table football also reports that those responsible in Dortmund would also be willing to talk to Thorgan Hazard.

Guerreiro’s contract expires in 2023, and Mahmoud Dahoud and Youssoufa Moukoko are only tied until next summer. The young striker has been offered an extension, but he is still hesitant to sign. Dahoud’s extension was long considered a formality, but has not yet been implemented.

So far, Dortmund have signed Nico Schlotterbeck, Niklas Süle, Karim, Adeyemi, Sebastien Haller and Salih Özcan. There is still interest in left-back David Raum from TSG Hoffenheim.

Twelve seconds!? These are the fastest BVB sending offs

1/26

It was 12 seconds before Bajram Sadrijaj was sent off in the 2008 cup against Essen – on his debut. For this he got into the Guinness Book of Records. SPOX looks at the fastest red cards at BVB.

2/26

25th place: SOKRATIS (after 17 competitive games) – On December 7, 2013, the Greek received a yellow-red card against Bayer 04 Leverkusen. At first he only saw yellow, but then he threw the ball away. Yellow-red and a 0-1 defeat for BVB.

3/26

24th place: STEFFEN FREUND (16) – On February 12, 1994, Freund had to take a shower early for the first time in BVB uniforms. Also against Leverkusen, also yellow-red. BVB won 1-0 back then.

4/26

21st place: KEVIN KAMPL (13) – On April 28, 2015, the midfielder had to leave the field early in the cup semi-final against Bayern. But no drama for Dortmund: Kampl went in the 108th minute and his team won the penalty shoot-out.

5/26

21st place: IVAN PERISIC (13) – On October 14, 2011 he saw a yellow card in Bremen shortly before the break and then immediately afterwards. We all know what twice yellow means…

6/26

21st place: SIEGFRIED KÖSTLER (13) – On November 6, 1971, like Perisic and Kampl, he picked up his first BVB dismissal in Bochum – with a red card. The 4:2 final result was already there.

7/26

19th place: DAN-AXEL ZAGADOU (12) – The Frenchman also saw red for an emergency brake on October 28, 2017. In Hanover it was still 2: 2, Dortmund then lost 2: 4.

8/26

19th place: MARCIO AMOROSO (12) – The Brazilian got his first BVB dismissal, also with a red card. Dortmund lost 2-1 at Boavista in 2001 – and ended up narrowly dropping out in the CL group stage.

9/26

18th place: KEVIN-PRINCE BOATENG (11) – Actually disappointing that the Prince is only in 18th place. But in May 2009 the time had come in Wolfsburg: Nine minutes after coming on as a substitute, he was sent off with a straight red.

10/26

17th place: ANDREAS MÖLLER (9) – Ironically, in the first derby for BVB at FC Schalke 04, he was sent off. In March 1988, BVB lost 3-0 and Möller visibly took it with him.

11/26

14th place: EMRE MOR (8) – The “Turkish Messi” did not have an easy time in Dortmund. Symbolic: His red card in December 2016 against Hertha BSC after an assault – even though he was originally fouled. Final result: 1:1.

12/26

14th place: EMRE CAN (8) – Champions League round of 16 in Paris, a 2-1 win from the first leg – everything was done for BVB in March 2020. But Can had other ideas and crowned his meager performance with a red card.

13/26

14th place: BODO SCHMIDT (8) – What can, Schmidt can do for a long time! He also picked up a red card in the eighth competitive game for BVB. On November 2, 1991, BVB was still able to draw 1-1 in Gladbach.

14/26

11th place: VICTOR IKPEBA (7) – Dortmund experienced a bitter day in the 3rd round of the DFB Cup in 1999. BVB lost 3-1 to Stuttgarter Kickers and Ikpeba was sent off with a traffic light card after 55 minutes.

15/26

11th place: JÜRGEN KOHLER (7) – Even legends want to celebrate their debut as quickly as possible. Kohler turned his opponent over and saw the red card. His BVB still won 3-0.

16/26

11th place: JENS LEHMANN (7) – If a goalkeeper appears in this list, it’s probably him. In 1999 he was sent off for the first time in the Bundesliga at Hansa Rostock. Curious: Almost a year later he sees the red card again in the Ostseestadion.

17/26

9th place: ABDOU DIALLO (6) – It was extremely unfortunate that he had to leave the field for the first time in Hoffenheim in 2018. Diallo and Kramaric drew each other, showing the red card was a very tough decision.

18/26

9th place: SEAD KAPETANOVIC (6) – BVB was about to take a point from the superior Werder Bremen. 2: 3 it was from the point of view of Dortmund. In the 68th minute, Kapetanovic had to leave the field with a yellow card. The end of dreams.

19/26

7th place: KOSI SAKA (5) – He was on the pitch for three minutes against Bayern in 2005, then he was allowed to leave again. The Munich team brought their 2-1 lead in the few remaining minutes over time.

20/26

7th place: SALVATORE GAMBINO (5) – Almost two years earlier, Gambino managed a similar feat. At least he lasted four minutes at Sochaux and was then sent to take a shower. BVB lost outnumbered 0:4.

21/26

6th place: SERGEJ BARBAREZ (4) – A goalless 0:0 in Nuremberg? What sounds boring, 1998 had a few highlights to offer. First, Ciric missed a penalty for FCN, and then Dortmund’s Barbarez was sent off in the 54th minute.

22/26

5th place: ANDRE EGLI (2) – In Uerdingen in 1984 he picked up the red card in his second competitive game after 80 minutes. Michael Zorc (centre) gave BVB the lead, but in the end they lost 2-1. Egli was gone again after the season.

23/26

1st place: MARKUS BRZENSKA (1) – The German Pole needed at least 43 minutes. In 2003 he didn’t see the half-time whistle at Bayern Munich. Dortmund equalized in the second half, but lost 4-1.

24/26

1st place: MIROSLAV STEVIC (1) – Up until the 70th minute in 1999 things were actually looking pretty good for BVB. But then Hertha BSC took the lead through Ilija Aracic and a minute later they were outnumbered because of Stevic. Final score: 0:3.

25/26

1st place: EVANILSON (1) – The Brazilian has a good laugh. Although he was sent off in Ulm in 1999 after his first 71 minutes for BVB, Dortmund still scored three points thanks to a goal by Fredi Bobic.

26/26

1st place: BAJRAM SADRIJAJ (12 seconds): “We’ll still have a lot of fun with him,” predicted Klopp. Then came the world record sending off after 12 seconds in Essen. His career was similar to his substitution: quickly there and quickly gone.
