BERICHTE: Der BVB Borussia Dortmund gibt offiziell den Abgang von sechs Starspielern bekannt…

Borussia Dortmund has officially announced the departure of six prominent players, signaling a significant shift in the team’s composition. The club’s statement confirmed that Marco Reus, Mats Hummels, Donyell Malen, Youssoufa Moukoko, Paris Brunner, and Thomas Meunier will be leaving the team.

Marco Reus has been a cornerstone of Borussia Dortmund for over a decade. After 12 years with the club, he announced his departure at the end of the 2023–2024 season.

Mats Hummels, a seasoned central defender, has been with Dortmund for multiple stints. His departure marks the end of an era for the club’s defense.

Donyell Malen joined Borussia Dortmund in 2021 and has been a key figure in the attack. His move to Aston Villa in January 2025 was confirmed, with the player expressing his desire to participate in the Champions League, a factor that influenced his transfer.

Youssoufa Moukoko was once considered one of Europe’s brightest young talents. His departure, along with that of Paris Brunner, reflects a trend where young players seek opportunities elsewhere, possibly due to high expectations and limited first-team opportunities at Dortmund.

Paris Brunner, like Moukoko, was part of Dortmund’s youth setup. His move to AS Monaco in August 2024 highlights the challenges Dortmund faces in retaining emerging talents.

Thomas Meunier joined Borussia Dortmund in 2020 and has been a reliable presence in the defense. His transfer to Trabzonspor in February 2024 was part of Dortmund’s efforts to restructure the squad.

These departures are part of Borussia Dortmund’s broader strategy to revitalize the squad, focusing on integrating younger talents and adapting to the evolving dynamics of European football. The club’s management has expressed confidence that these changes will pave the way for a new era of success.
