Borussia Dortmund made a significant acquisition for the upcoming Bundesliga season, securing the services of Marcel Sabitzer from Bayern Munich. The Austrian midfielder, who spent last season on loan at Manchester United, decided to embark on a new chapter in his career, donning the yellow and black jersey of Dortmund.
Announced by Borussia Dortmund on Monday, Sabitzer's move was met with excitement among fans and club officials. The 29-year-old vice-captain of the Austrian national team completed his medical check successfully in Dortmund, paving the way for him to sign a three-season contract with the club. The deal, worth 19 million euros, will see Sabitzer stay at Dortmund until June 2027.
Sabitzer's stint at Manchester United, though on loan, did not culminate in a permanent signing as the club's management decided against it. Nonetheless, the midfielder's experience and skillset make him an attractive prospect for Borussia Dortmund, fulfilling their requirements for a central midfielder who can contribute both defensively and offensively in the box-to-box role. With the new season on the horizon, Dortmund's sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, expressed his delight in adding a player of Sabitzer's caliber to their roster. Kehl highlighted Sabitzer's extensive experience at the highest international level and how he perfectly aligns with Dortmund's desired profile for a central midfielder.
The Austrian's versatility and ability to impact the game in multiple areas make him a valuable asset for the team.
As Sabitzer prepares to embark on this new chapter of his career, fans are eager to witness his contributions to Borussia Dortmund's midfield. The 29-year-old's presence is expected to bolster the team's performances, both defensively and offensively, as they compete in the Bundesliga and other competitions.
While Sabitzer's departure from Bayern Munich and his loan stint at Manchester United might not have resulted in long-term stays, Dortmund fans are hopeful that their new signing will find success and make a lasting impact at Signal Iduna Park. With his medical check complete and contract signed, Sabitzer is ready to embark on this exciting journey with his new club, and his performances in the upcoming season will undoubtedly be a focal point for both Dortmund supporters and football enthusiasts alike.
