Borussia Dortmund Eyes Kevin Schade in January Transfer Window
Borussia Dortmund is reportedly finalizing a deal to acquire Brentford’s Kevin Schade during the upcoming January transfer window, according to a recent Sky Sports report. The move would mark Dortmund’s first signing of the winter window as they look to bolster their squad for the second half of the season.
Schade, who joined Brentford and has quickly become a key player for the Bees, is expected to depart Brentford, despite the coaching staff’s anticipation of him becoming an even more prominent figure in the upcoming season. His potential exit comes as a surprise, considering his achievements with the club.
Notably, Schade scored a hat-trick against Leicester City in November 2024, showcasing his goal-scoring prowess. Additionally, he secured the goal of the month award in May 2025 for a stunning header against Ipswich Town. His contributions have solidified his status as a key player for Brentford in the Premier League.
Earlier reports linked Borussia Dortmund with a potential move for Schade in January 2025, with a reported fee of €50-60 million. However, the transfer was contingent on Dortmund selling another player first, and there have been no further updates on that front.
Schade’s talents extend beyond his club performances. He made his debut for the German national team in March 2023, providing an assist in his second appearance, indicating his potential on the international stage.
As the January transfer window approaches, Borussia Dortmund’s pursuit of Kevin Schade is gaining momentum. If the deal materializes, it would be a significant addition to Dortmund’s squad, bringing in a versatile player with proven goal-scoring ability and international experience.
