🚨❌ DEAL OFF unless a transfer miracle happens before Deadline Day. “Said El Mala is not a Borussia Dortmund player and he will not become one this summer either,” BVB boss Lars Ricken told Funke Mediengruppe when asked directly. “We have had open discussions with the people in charge at 1. FC Köln in recent days, but they rejected our latest offer. Borussia Dortmund will not submit another offer and will no longer pursue a transfer for the player.” The deal is failing because Köln want €50m guaranteed, while Dortmund are currently offering slightly less, with easily achievable add-ons that could quickly take the total to €50m guaranteed plus €5-6m add-ons. #effzeh #bvb @SkySportDE 🇩🇪
