Borussia Dortmund are considering Rayane Bounida, a 20-year-old Moroccan international attacking midfielder, as a signing, but the club must first address other transfer priorities and complete some player sales. Ajax is open to a departure for Bounida, however, the club will not permit him to leave for a low price; it was reported that a potential transfer to Borussia Mönchengladbach in May 2026 did not proceed due to the Dutch club's financial demands. Bounida, who has a contract until 2028, achieved 1 goal and 5 assists in 23 Eredivisie appearances last season and has a current market value of €5.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Additionally, there have been no recent contacts between Bounida and RSC Anderlecht.
