Borussia Dortmund has joined the race to acquire Ritsu Doan. Dortmund has already begun preliminary discussions with Doan's representatives. The transfer hinges on Dortmund's financial standing and their success in qualifying for the Champions League. Freiburg, where Doan plays a crucial role, intends to sell him for a minimum of 20 million euros. Doan is contracted with Freiburg until 2027, and his contract does not include a release clause. This season, his performance has been impressive, with nine goals and eight assists in 33 Bundesliga matches. Eintracht Frankfurt, which was previously leading in the pursuit of Doan, is planning to initiate negotiations with Freiburg next week.
