Bayern and Borussia Dortmund are fierce league rivals, but they’re also frequently doing business together. Players move from one club to the other, some for big fees, others for free – but this year, the cooperation is getting even stronger.After Raphael Guerreiro decided to sign for Bayern following the expiration of his contract at Westfalenstadion, the Yellow-Blacks want to bring Bayern’s midfield outcast Marcel Sabitzer to kickstart their transfer window dealings.According to a report from Bild, the 29-year-old Austrian international is BVB’s number one target. The guy who spent the last season on loan at Manchester United has two more years on his Bayern contract. Still, the Bavarian club is open to selling him because he probably won’t be considered a first-team regular by their head coach Thomas Tuchel.##NAJAVA_MECA_7381914##Bayern will listen to offers worth around $17 million for the former RB Leipzig star, who has a wealth of experience playing in the Bundesliga (a total of 185 appearances for Die Roten Bullen and FCB).After the departures of creative midfielders Jude Bellingham, Guerreiro and Mo Dahoud, BVB team manager Sebastian Kehl, managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke and head coach Edin Terzic are desperate for quality replacements.Marcel Sabitzer scored 5 goals in 27 minutes in yesterday’s friendly game against Rottach-Egern. ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ pic.twitter.com/76dueDeWI7— Bayern & Football 🏆 (@MunichFanpage) July 19, 2023 BVB splashed $33.5 million to sign Felix Nmecha from Wolfsburg, but it’s not enough to heal the wound that was opened on the last day of the season when they bottled the title and allowed Bayern to overtake them in the race to the trophy.Sabitzer is keen to move to a club where he’d be one of the team leaders. He’s fed up with waiting for loans, substitute appearances and the like. At his age, playing regularly is essential. Perhaps switching over to Bayern’s business associates, Dortmund is the solution to his woes.
