Sometimes there are some game situations that can be a footballer suddenly stand in a different light. Until the 120th minute of the Cup final between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund Henrikh Mkhitaryan was at BVB as virtually unsaleable. Then came the penalty shoot-out. Dortmund's Armenian playmaker refused to, the central defender Sokratis and Sven Bender Missed that Bavaria celebrated the Cup victory. Quite likely that this scene plays a role when Mkhitaryan next week still gets approval for his move to Manchester United.
Dortmund had two, three weeks issued the slogan that Mkhitaryan, whose contract expires in 2017, should not go. After the marches of the two international Ilkay Gündogan and Mats Hummels BVB wanted to and his coach Thomas Tuchel not expect the third departure of a key player. Rather they wanted to dispense with a release and let Mkhitaryan meet end his contract.
Listing at 40 million euros?
Meanwhile to the fee bid of Manchester United are more than 40 million euros. BVB has been whispered for weeks that the pain threshold lies at 42 million euros. That is now apparently be possible. For a player with only a year contract period, a new record.
In Dortmund wants to once again discuss the crucial topic for the weekend "on the boards" - which actually is otherwise not just the usual practice at BVB, where managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke and sporting director Michael Zorc most still ask the coach what he one of holds transfer. But Mkhitaryan, until recently became a favorite player from Tuchel, has become almost like a political issue. Mkhitaryans consultant who dazzling Mino Raiola, has already spread in the media that his client will no longer compete for DFB-Borussia Dortmund on July 4, either way. Contracting out Contracting ago. The manners in professional football are just always desolate.
Background should be that Mkhitaryan plays only a minor role in Raiolas shops. Manchester United's new coach Jose Mourinho is reportedly two other of Raiolas proteges, the Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the Frenchman Paul Pogba pilot, necessarily to England. Mkhitaryan to be something of a bonus. Originally intended to bid for United, the new season only allowed to play in the little befitting Europa League International, have lain at modest 24 million.
But Mkhitaryan should stop his hell-bent to switch to Manchester. Already in April, long before breaking off negotiations with the BVB, the 27-year-old had quit his apartment in Dortmund in the summer. What was hard to conceal. to want to hold a so abwanderungswütigen player with all his might, seems to be too strenuous even BVB Boss Watzke. Unclear is: Who now replaced Mkhitaryan?
Zorc had at Bayer Leverkusen, as can be heard from Leverkusen, asked whether Karim Bellarabi would have to replace him. Bell Arabi is relatively similar in play Mkhitaryan. Leverkusen but played the informal inquiry from Dortmund obviously equal to media on. Dortmund probed the market. With around 100 million euros, which would come together to transfer proceeds, albeit Mkhitaryan goes, Dortmund could indeed make a lot. But donating clubs raise prices when the liquid BVB knocks.
Stubbornly holding in Dortmund is a tendency that Thomas Tuchel's former Mainz player André Schürrle favors - but this results in Dortmund for collective astonishment. The soon 26 years old Schürrle has remained almost consistently guilty since his move from Mainz to Leverkusen five years ago, the proof of special class. In Leverkusen, at Chelsea and Wolfsburg Schürrle came rarely beyond mediocrity. Also at the European Championships he seems at best to be a Einwechselkandidat Joachim Löw. Wolfsburg is also calling for 30 million Schürrle. BVB-Annex should Tuchel fondness for his former hardly encounter get any love.
Realistically, however, the return of Mario Götze seems. Even that is, accumulated since his move from Dortmund to Bayern, rarely to form. Also idol is obviously just downgraded at Loew the second term. But his performance at Bayern are considerable in the past three years. Who does not count at Bayern of the main cast, may still be a good man.
Also known Götze and know that he is still the stuff would have an international star in a suitable environment. Just because Götze previously ran away no trees at the European Championships, the chances are likely to have improved him back to his youth and training club. In Munich is likely to want to push the championship-winning goal scorers for 20 million of the ramp.
