Cup Overview

Rising American winger Mathis Albert was the subject of loan interest during the summer transfer window, sources tell GOAL, but Borussia Dortmund opted to keep hold of the teenage starlet due to their plans for him with the first team. Albert made his professional debut for Dortmund last season and started for the club on Tuesday in the DFB-Pokal.

The DFB-Pokal has already produced some huge scorelines this season. Bayern and Dortmund could add to the goal fest.

Last year, Borussia Dortmund spent almost €45 million on Fabio Silva and Carney Chukwuemeka. Both could now be candidates for the internal filling of the vacant position of Giannis Konstantelias – but they are not.

Sporting director Christoph Freund speaks on deadline day about possible transfers at Bayern Munich and reports on an unusual measure involving Sacha Boey, for whom a club from England is now said to have made an approach.
