Dortmund interested in Bayern midfielder Marcel Sabitzer

Borussia Dortmund are interested in the signing of Bayern Munich midfielder Marcel Sabitzer, the Bild newspaper reported on Thursday.

Dortmund would have to pay a transfer fee of around €15 million ($16.8 million) as they are aiming to convince the Austrian of another move within the Bundesliga.

He could potentially fill the gap left by Jude Bellingham, who moved to Real Madrid.

Dortmund didn't want to comment on the report.

Bayern signed Sabitzer from RB Leipzig in 2021 until 2025, but due to the competition for a position in midfielder, he was loaned to Manchester United.

The situation likely won't change this season, especially since Bayern signed Sabitzer's former Leipzig team-mate Konrad Laimer.

Previous reports said that Roma would be in talks with Bayern to sign the player on a loan.
