Raphael Guerreiro's contract expires at the end of the season. Leeds United shows sustained interest in Dortmund.

BVB would probably not have resisted the sale of Raphael Guerreiro this summer. The Portuguese had a very weak 21/22 season and was also increasingly struggling with injury concerns. Since his contract also ends in 2023, the summer would have been the last chance to collect a decent fee for the Portuguese.

Ultimately, the 28-year-old, who is said to have been an issue at FC Barcelona, ​​decided to stay in Dortmund. Under Edin Terzic, his form curve has improved slightly compared to last season, but the left-back is still a long way from his top level. It remains to be seen whether both parties can agree on an extension of the working paper - or whether Guerreiro will leave BVB next summer after seven years.

After 90min information, Leeds United shows increased interest in the technically strong Portuguese. The Whites had already inquired about Guerreiro this summer and are said to be big admirers of the 28-year-old. Against the background that the left foot would be available for free, his commitment to the Premier League club has become even more attractive.

Leeds had signed Junior Firpo for the left-back position in the summer of 2021 but the Brazilian has been struggling with ongoing injury problems on the island. After 24 appearances in the previous season, Firpo is currently only making one appearance in the Premier League - the 26-year-old has not yet uprooted any big trees. It is therefore not surprising that Leeds are looking for higher-quality alternatives.
