In July 2026, reports converged on a completed transfer to Borussia Dortmund for a fee of around €33 million plus a sell-on clause, with other reports stating the total package would be over €35 million and potentially as high as €40-45 million with bonuses. This followed a series of rejected bids from Dortmund, reportedly starting at €26 million and rising to €30 million plus €5 million in bonuses.

Earlier in 2026, various valuations were mentioned, including a €45 million asking price in April, a reported €35 million offer from Real Madrid in April, and a potential €25 million offer from AC Milan in February.
