Dortmund's progress in signings has stalled this summer. German media Biography said that the transfer negotiations about Chuk Umeka are becoming increasingly difficult, and the Yellow and Black Army's plan B is to rent Manchester City player Echeviri.

In addition to Bellingham Jr. and substitute goalkeeper Druss, Dortmund has not signed other new players this summer, and many fans are also anxious about this. Bild said that despite reaching the quarterfinals in the US Club World Cup, Dortmund's senior executives currently have only about 30 million euros to compete for new stars.

The current senior executives Ricken and Kyle focus is on signing a creative midfielder star, a typical player who can change the direction of the game. It has been an open secret that Dortmund wants Chelsea's 21-year-old Chuk Umeka, but their negotiations with the Blues have become increasingly difficult, so now there is a Plan B.

Bortmond has now targeted Manchester City's 19-year-old Echeviri: Manchester City paid about €18 million in transfer fees for the skilled player with excellent offensive ability in early 2024, but he has little chance of playing in Guardiola's star roster. The report said that Dortmund now wants to loan Echeviri and wants to add a buyout option to the contract.

At the same time, Dortmund's negotiations on his favorite striker Fabio Silva are also extremely difficult. It is reported that it is not only Dortmund that shows strong interest in the 23-year-old striker, but Roma also hopes to get this forward with strong goal-scoring ability and can also play behind the front line.

For Wolves, this is an ideal opportunity to continue to significantly increase transfer fees. It is reported that the transfer fee quotation of 25 million to 30 million euros is no longer enough.

In terms of transferring players, forward Alai transferred to Udrecht, while Dortmund provided a compensation to the player. The 22-year-old Renner is willing to transfer to Parma, but the two clubs are currently unable to reach an agreement on the transfer fee, and the player has also aroused the interest of Real Sociedad.

Bundesliga transfer window this summer will be closed at 8 pm on September 1, and it will be a difficult task for Ricken and Kyle to complete the signing target in the remaining 15 days.
