Borussia Dortmund has a specific interest in the 31-year-old German centre-back Marc-Oliver Kempf, who has become a target following a successful season with Como. The German club has identified Kempf as a potential addition to their defense and considers him a suitable candidate to replace Nico Schlotterbeck, should Schlotterbeck leave Germany this summer. Cesc Fabregas regards Kempf as an essential part of the team's technical plan and would like for him to stay.
For this reason, Como is considering a contract extension. The club must choose between extending the defender's contract, which expires on June 30, 2027, or considering a sale during this transfer window. In the 2025/2026 Serie A season, Kempf made 34 appearances, scored 4 goals, and provided 1 assist. The defender has 7 caps for Germany's U21 team. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €3.50m. Kempf has also been linked with Bologna.
