Another deal between rivals: Sabizer arrives in Dortmund

He didn't really impress in Munich, but in Dortmund they estimated that the energy of Marcel Sabitzer is exactly what they need, so the 29-year-old midfielder will become the new reinforcement of Borussia. The German Sky Sport confirmed the information with a video of the Austrian, who flew to Dortmund on a private plane from Munich this morning to finalize the transfer. The agreement has been reached in principle, there are still some details to be agreed, just until Sabitzer passes the medical examinations, which will happen in the next 48 hours.

He arrived from RB Leipzig in 2021 as a wish of former coach Julian Nagelsmann, who coached the club before, but was never close to repeating his form. With a new coach and a crowdie midfield (Kimmich, Goretzka, Gravenberch and Leimer), it was obvious that the Austrian international won’t have much playing time, especially after he was loaned to Manchester United during the second part of last season. The plan is for Sabitzer to travel to the USA and join the team's preparations. Bayern will earn 19,000,000 euros in compensation, including all bonuses in the contract, which is actually quite a good deal, considering that they brought the player 15,000,000 euros. The player himself will sign a contract until 2027.

Ahead of the probably transfer, Sabitzer did something unusual: he deleted all of his Bayern-related posts on his Instagram profile. Quite strange, not only because he is, at least formally, still a Manchester player, but also because he confessed when he signed in 2021, that he was a lifelong Bayern fan. But for now, his followers can only see his goodbye letter to Leipzig in 2021 and then his at Manchester United on February 2, 2023. Everything in between is deleted.
