Dortmund is interested in recruiting Japanese national soccer defender Itakurako.

Germany's Bild reported on the 29th (Korea time) that "Dortmund, looking for a new center back, is looking around Mönchengladbach. It is known that Itakura wants to leave the club even though he has a contract left until 2026."

Recently, Dortmund's key defender Nico Schlotterbeck collapsed. According to Dortmund, Schlotterbeck suffered a ruptured meniscus in his left knee and will no longer be able to play this season. Recovery is also expected to take a long time.

According to Bild, Dortmund are looking for a new center back. The player mentioned is Itakura, the Japanese national soccer team. He grew up in Kawasaki Frontale and gained experience through loan with Begalta Sendai. He joined Manchester City in 2019 but left for Groningen on loan.

Itakura's potential at Groningen is in full bloom. He was also named Team Player of the Year. However, instead of playing for Manchester City, he played on loan for Schalke. Mönchengladbach, who watched his performance, decided to recruit him ahead of the 2022-23 season.

Itakura was reborn as a main defender at Mönchengladbach. During the last season, there were reports that Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur were aiming for him, but the transfer did not actually take place. Itakura has four goals and one assist in 31 games this season as well.

Bild said, "Itakura wants to leave Mönchengladbach. He wants to take the next step in his career and raise his current salary by 4 million euros (about 6.5 billion won). Mönchengladbach discussed extending his contract for months to no avail. This is especially true because the possibility of a European match is getting slimmer."

The media said, "Dortmund can imagine Itakura replacing Schloterbeck. In terms of Asian marketing, recruiting Itakura may be worthwhile. The importance of center backs is growing in coach Nico Kovac's defense system." 먹튀검증

There is even a specific fee for his transfer. "Itakura, who moved from Manchester City for 5 million euros, can leave the club for up to 12 million euros, which is the current market value. It will be a successful contract for Mönchengladbach," Bild said.
