Why Borussia Dortmund are unlikely sign Hoffenheim’s Tom Bischof | OneFootball

Sport Bild reports that despite interest in the midfielder, Borussia Dortmund are unlikely to try and sign Hoffenheim’s Tom Bischof.

Right now, Bischof is probably the most sort after talent in German football and has attracted interest from Germany’s biggest clubs such as Dortmund, Bayern Munich, VfB Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt, while RB Leipzig is also said to be interested as his contract at Hoffenheim expires in the summer.

A decision is expected to be made by the end of the year, so clubs are scrambling to be in pole position for his signature.

Dortmund are unlikely to be one of those clubs. Despite being big fans of the 19-year-old, Dortmund are already well-stacked in midfield and it will be difficult to offer Bischof a path into the starting 11. Emre Can, Pascal Groß, Felix Nmecha and Marcel Sabitzer are all likely to be at Dortmund next season, so will block any path for Bischof into the 11, while academy product Kjell Wätjen is slowly being integrated into the squad.

With several options in midfield, this is also the reason why Dortmund are unlikely to try and sign Jobe Bellingham, the brother of Jude, as there are also no spaces in the squad with Julian Brandt also added to the mix.
