Breel Embolo could become the first major signing for Borussia Dortmund under the management of Niko Kovac. The Croatian coach has taken over the team following the failure of Nuri Sahin at the helm, with the clear aim of reversing the concerning sports situation of the German side. Aware of the team's offensive needs, Kovac has reportedly requested the addition of the Swiss forward, who currently plays for Monaco.
Breel Embolo on Borussia Dortmund's Radar
Although Kovac and Embolo did not coincide during the coach's time at the Principality club, he has received positive reports about the 27-year-old striker. So far this season, Embolo has scored five goals and provided as many assists, establishing himself as an important piece in Monaco's attack. His physical attributes, speed, and power could be an ideal complement for Dortmund's squad.
If the Swiss forward were to arrive in Germany, he would take on a secondary role behind Guirassy, the current offensive reference for Borussia Dortmund. Nevertheless, his ability to play in various positions in the attacking line would allow offering tactical variations to the Croatian coach, something particularly valuable for competing in demanding domestic and international competitions.
Discussions between both parties have not yet progressed decisively, but at Signal Iduna Park, they seem determined to provide Niko Kovac with the necessary tools to steer the ship right. Embolo's potential arrival, if eventually sealed, could mark the beginning of a new chapter at Borussia Dortmund, where confidence in the Swiss talent is evident.
