Dortmund after Souleymane Diawara?
By: Steven | July 4th, 2007
According to Setanta Sports, Borussia Dortmund “appear to be in pole position” to sign Souleymane Diawara from relegated EPL side Charlton.
“There is a real interest from Dortmund,” said Roger Boli, Diawara’s agent. “Souleymane could be interested to join them and play in the Bundesliga.”
This should be interesting. This is the first I’ve heard of the news, but apparently we’re leading the race (”That is true that we have been solicited by lots of clubs,” said Boli) to sign him. If that’s the case, then great. We have improved the squad quite a bit at the forward and midfield positions, but we need some more players at the back.
But after thinking about this deal, I can’t figure out where the money is coming from. I’m pretty sure Michael Zorc has said that we’ve used all but maybe £1-1.5million of our transfer budget, and would Charlton really be willing to let him go for that amount? When they bought him from Sochaux, they paid £3.7 for him. It’ll be interesting to see how this turns out.
P.S. Happy Fourth of July!
