Borussia Dortmund faces apparent transfer bombshell
Mathis Albert is regarded as an absolute top talent at Borussia Dortmund and a promising investment for the future. However, the club apparently faces the risk of losing the 17-year-old US international.
This emerges from a Sky report. According to the report, the lack of first-team prospects for Albert at Borussia Dortmund could lead to a move away from the club.
Prominent suitors are reportedly already lining up for the offensive prospect.
In summer 2025, Paris Saint-Germain inquired about Albert with then-Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl, according to reports. However, a transfer ultimately did not materialize.
When Manchester City and Chelsea reportedly approached Borussia Dortmund in January and allegedly offered between 15 and 20 million euros for Albert, the club blocked a departure.
Borussia Dortmund: Limited playing time for Mathis Albert
The problem: Manager Niko Kovac rarely relies on the highly-regarded youngster.
Although Albert is firmly part of Borussia Dortmund's professional squad for 2026/2027, he has only appeared once in a competitive match so far, in the 5-0 victory in the first round of the DFB-Pokal against Oberliga side HEBC Hamburg.
