Borussia Dortmund signed Austria midfielder Marcel Sabitzer from Bundesliga rival Bayern Munich on Monday, boosting its options following Jude Bellingham바카라s departure for Real Madrid.
The 29-year-old Sabitzer signed a contract through June 2027 and will travel on Tuesday to the United States to join his new teammates on Dortmund바카라s summer tour.
바카라He fits the profile that we were looking for exactly 바카라 a central midfielder who will strengthen us both defensively and offensively as a box-to-box player,바카라 Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl said. 바카라Marcel is physically strong and also carries an immense goal threat. We바카라re convinced that he will also become an important pillar of our team thanks to his personality and will help us to be even more effective, especially in hard-fought matches.바카라
Dortmund was reportedly paying Bayern 15-20 million euros ($17-22 million) for the midfielder.
Sabitzer starred for Leipzig before following coach Julian Nagelsmann to Bayern in 2021. But he failed to find his place in Bayern바카라s star-filled midfield and was ultimately loaned to Manchester United for the second half of last season.
Sabitzer managed only two goals in 53 competitive appearances for Bayern 바카라 54 including the German Super Cup 바카라 and the same again in 14 English Premier League and Europa League appearances for United.
Sabitzer is Dortmund바카라s second reinforcement in midfield after the signing of Felix Nmecha from Wolfsburg to compensate for Bellingham바카라s departure. The club replaced left back Raphaël Guerreiro, who joined Bayern, with Ramy Bensebaini from Borussia Mönchengladbach.
