Borussia Dortmund is interested in the 20-year-old Moroccan international Rayane Bounida. The German club views the attacking midfielder as an option but is currently concentrating on other priorities and must sell players before it can pursue a potential transfer. It is reported that Ajax is not opposed to Bounida's departure this summer but will not sell him for a low price. This position reportedly led to the collapse of a potential transfer to Borussia Mönchengladbach in May 2026 because of financial demands that the German club considered to be excessive. His former club RSC Anderlecht, which he departed for Ajax in 2022, is said to have no current contact with the player concerning a return. Bounida has a current market value of €5.00m, according to Transfermarkt, and he recorded 1 goal and 5 assists in 23 Eredivisie appearances last season. His contract in Amsterdam is valid until the summer of 2028.
