Official: BVB Sign Giannis Konstantelias
It’s official, folks! BVB have signed Giannis Konstantelias on a deal that runs until 2031. The quick-footed Greece international joins from PAOK Thessaloniki for about €32 million all-in. Ole Book moved with lightning-quick reflexes after backing out of a deal for Saïd El Mala, needing less than a week to secure a competitive alternative at […]
Sunday Morning Double-Whammy: BVB Set to Sign Joey Veerman and Giannis Konstantelias
What a surprise to wake up to! 48 hours ago, Borussia Dortmund’s final offer for Said El Mala was firmly rejected by FC Köln. Florian Plettenberg reported that BVB were already hard at work looking for backup signings, and expected action soon. I certainly didn’t expect Ole Book to work this quickly! Early this morning, […]
Borussia Dortmund Abandon Pursuit of Said El Mala
As it turns out, Borussia Dortmund will not be breaking its club transfer record this summer. After weeks of back-and-forth negotiations with FC Köln, the Cathedral City club’s asking price has proven to be just too high. It is widely reported that Borussia Dortmund had set an internal limit up to €50 million for El […]
BVB Updates: Dortmund Beat Arsenal, Bid Again for Said El Mala
Hope you all had a great weekend! I haven’t written in a while, so here’s what’s going on in BVB land: BVB Beat Arsenal 3-2 in the “Emirates Cup” Normally, I wouldn’t really care about a win in a preseason friendly, but after so much acrimony among the fan base after BVB’s lackluster friendly performances […]
Report: Dortmund Agreed to Couto Loan Deal with Como
One of Dortmund’s will-they-won’t-they transfers of the summer appears to be going ahead at long last. Per Fabrizio Romano, Dortmund wing-back Yan Couto is set to move to Italy this summer on loan to Como. Couto joined Dortmund initially on loan from Manchester City in the fall of 2024, with a purchase obligation exercised in […]
Borussia Dortmund Interested in FC Köln’s Said El Mala
Borussia Dortmund’s summer transfer window is getting more exciting by the day. The arrival of exciting Greek prospect Konstantinos Karestas is imminent. Now, Sporting Director Ole Book seems to be cooking up a move that would be arguably even more high-profile: taking a run at FC Köln’s Said El Mala. The 19-year-old German International has […]
Report: Borussia Dortmund Has Signed Konstantinos Karetsas
Ladies and gentlemen… we got him! According to Bob Faesen of HLN Sport and confirmed by Florian Plettenburg, Borussia Dortmund has secured the transfer of 18 year-old Greek international Konstantinos Karetsas from KRC Genk of the Belgian Pro League. Plettenburg reports that Dortmund will pay a package worth a club-record €32 million plus add-ons for […]
Transfer Roundup: Where Borussia Dortmund Stands after the World Cup
Welcome back to club soccer, everyone! After 104 World Cup matches, club soccer is officially back on the menu. 48 teams competed, 11 Dortmund players featured for their national teams, 3 taxidermy animals were brought to Norway, 1 team won the whole thing, and 1 team crashed out 4-1 in front of a home crowd […]
Report: Adeyemi (Finally) Sold to FC Barcalona
Almost two weeks ago I wrote how Adeyemi to Barcelona was “a done deal”. For reference, that was the same day Spain and Belgium played each other in the quarter final. Since then, we’ve seen Spain go on to win the World Cup, Dortmund begin their preseason, and this cite have at least 100 discussions […]
Dortmund’s World Cup Stock Index: Who had the Best (and Worst) Tournament?
The greatest sporting spectacle in the world has officially come and gone. The 2026 World Cup raked in a record $15 billion in total revenue for FIFA. Corporate greed aside, the tournament once again gripped the globe, uniting billions of viewers across a month-long fever dream of tactical masterclasses, agonizing heartbreak, and unscripted euphoria. To […]
World Cup Watch Party: The Final!
It all comes down to this. It’s a great day to be a Barça fan and a terrible day to be a Madridista. Out of 48 teams, only two remain: Argentina and Spain. Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal. The Barcelona old guard and the young guns. All battling it out under the smoggy wildfire-choked skies […]
Borussia Dortmund in Negotiations With Genk Over Konstantinos Karetsas
Borussia Dortmund’s transfer window has been a quiet one thus far, but that could change very quickly. BVB’s Sporting Director Ole Book has zeroed in on Konstantinos Karetsas, a highly-touted 18-year-old Greek international who plays for KRC Genk in the Belgian League. According to Florian Plettenberg, Dortmund and Karetsas have already agreed to personal terms […]
Where to Watch the Bundesliga in 2026/27: What to Know about the New Versant/Telemundo Deal
I remember the Dark Ages: 2016 Fox Sports. Waking up at 6:30 am PST to watch Dortmund v. Ingolstadt in late March only to find that the game wasn’t on Fox Sports or Fox Sports 2 but instead was only showing on FoxSportsGo, a channel only a select few could access. We’re over that now, […]

Report: Barcelona Complete Transfer For Karim Adeyemi
7/10/2026 Update: Still waiting on the official announcement here but looks like Adeyemi to Barcelona is a done deal. Multiple sources are putting the figure at around €22 million plus €7 million in add-ons. Ultimately a low price for a player we once thought would be worth €60m+. That being said, Adeyemi has one year […]

According to reports, Jurgen Klopp has agreed to become the manager of the German National Team, with a formal agreement expected soon.

World Cup Watch Party: Week Two
The World Cup is awesome. As much as FIFA and the hosting countries (mostly the U.S. but Canada a bit as well) tried to ruin it, once the tournament started, pretty much everyone forgot and has just been enjoying the scenes. We’ve got underdog stories in Curaçao and Cabo Verde, while teams like Turkey and […]
BVB Vault: The Summer of Sammer
June 30, 1996 – UEFA European Football Championship, Wembley Stadium. Germany just defeated the Czech Republic (known today as Czechia) by the score of 2-1, thanks in part to substitute Oliver Bierhoff’s 95th minute golden goal. From then on Bierhoff’s name was etched in folklore. Bierhoff or captain Jürgen Klinsmann may have received accolades for […]
