Rumors about Gregor Kobel have been circulating at Borussia Dortmund for quite some time. He could leave BVB for a bigger club. There is also heated discussion about possible successors.

Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle United: In the past, there has reportedly been repeated interest in Gregor Kobel from England. But with a contract until the summer of 2028, and no exit clause, Borussia Dortmund has been able to take a relaxed approach to the rumors surrounding its number one goalkeeper.

Because one thing is clear: if the Swiss national team’s number one were to leave Strobelallee, clubs from the Premier League or other European leagues would have to dig deep into their pockets for Kobel. According to the portal “transfermarkt.de,” the 27-year-old Swiss player’s market value is estimated at an impressive €40 million.

It is quite possible that the powerful English clubs will get serious in one of the next transfer periods and put the money on the table. BVB is already preparing for this eventuality.

In the summer of 2025, the Bundesliga club signed Diant Ramaj, a highly talented goalkeeper from FC Copenhagen. The 24-year-old German-Kosovar is currently on loan to 1. FC Heidenheim and is also the regular goalkeeper for BVB’s Bundesliga rivals. But if Kobel really does leave BVB in the near future, Ramaj and Alexander Meyer, the current number two, would not be enough. And this is where Mateusz Kochalski suddenly comes into play.

The 1.90-meter-tall Pole is the goalkeeper in Azerbaijan. He is under contract with Champions League club Qarabag Agdam until 2027. Kochalski is causing a sensation with his strong performances in both the domestic league and the Champions League. The market value of the 25-year-old, who played for Stal Mielec, Legia Warsaw, and Radomiak Radom in Poland, is estimated at €1.5 million. According to forecasting information, it is not only BVB that has expressed interest in Kochalski. Serie A clubs have also set their sights on the Polish player.

When asked about the BVB rumors, Kochalski told the portal “sportinfo.az”: “I can’t comment on this news. I’ve only read what’s been written. I don’t have any other information.”
