Borussia Dortmund is looking to bolster their attacking ranks heading into next season. They did fairly well in the Bundesliga, ending up in fourth below the likes of Stuttgart, Bayern Munich, and Bayer Leverkusen, and they reached the Champions League final in a shocking move. But, to do better in their domestic league, score more goals, and rank in the top three spots, they need to bolster their attacking line.
And they might have the perfect target in mind. However, that doesn’t mean they are going to snatch up this player without a fight from other teams who also have their eye on the ex-Manchester United winger.
Borussia Dortmund Looking to get Ex-Man U Winger
Borussia Dortmund could be in a direct bidding war with Juventus to purchase the likes of Mason Greenwood, the ex-Manchester United player who ruined his career after being accused of assault by his girlfriend. Greenwood was accused of sexual assault after his girlfriend sent a video of Greenwood being extremely aggressive towards her, which identified the player as a terrible person, predator, and someone that Manchester United no longer wants on their team in England.
But, that didn’t mean that Manchester United got rid of him. Much to the country’s dismay, Manchester United kept the player but sent him on loan to other teams in various leagues across Europe to get more game time. If they couldn’t use him in their team in their domestic league, they would at least try and make money off of the player who had already signed a long-term contract.
So, Dortmund is considering purchasing Greenwood from the Red Devils so that Greenwood will play in the Bundesliga next year. Greenwood has spent a season on loan at Getafe in the Spanish La Liga, where he scored eight goals in all appearances for his club. Other teams who have raised interest in the young player include Juventus in the same league and Atletico Madrid, who both need a new winger for their respective sides.
Dortmund is in direct contention with two La Liga sides to see who will offer the most money and which team will be the best fit for Greenwood. Dortmund have reportedly stated they are willing to take the ex-Man U player on loan since he has one year remaining on his contract with the team in England.
Getting Greenwood would be a tricky move for any club. He was indicted in a court of law in England and hated by the entire country for what he did to his girlfriend. But, some people don’t care as much about the ethics of the game and how a person behaves off the field – they just want a player who can do what they want on the field. If Dortmund want a speedy winger, but a terrible person, then Greenwood could be a great loan player for them.
Dortmund Looking Forward
Dortmund ended the Bundesliga in fifth place, much lower than they would have hoped at the beginning of the year. However, they shocked fans and spectators as they beat big-name teams to make it to the finals of the Champions League where they faced off against Real Madrid -and held them to just a 2-0 win in a tense match.
Dortmund beat the likes of PSG in the UEFA Champions League semi-final toward the end of their year, along with dominating games like 5-1 to Augsburg and 4-0 vs. Darmstadt. However, they lost key matches throughout the year, like dropping three points against Mainz at the end of the season and having trouble contending with the top teams, as shown in a 4-1 loss to RB Leipzig in April.
