Edinson Cavani to replace Sébastien Haller at Borussia Dortmund? | OneFootball

With initial contact already established, further talks between Edinson Cavani and Borussia Dortmund are planned, according to Bild. BVB are in the market to find a replacement for Sébastien Haller, who was diagnosed with a testicular tumour last month.

Cavani (35), who is available on a free transfer, has been offered to Borussia Dortmund, and is just one name amongst many that has been offered to the Bundesliga side as they seek a short-term replacement. Should the Uruguayan forward move to Germany, there’s a question mark over his €10m salary and whether BVB would be willing to pay such a fee after investing around €86m in transfers this summer.

Although no decision has yet been reached, BVB are expected to sign a Haller replacement in the next two weeks. However, they have a preference to sign a player to a one-year contract, either on loan or a free transfer. FC Köln striker Anthony Modeste (34) has also been offered to Borussia Dortmund, the Frenchman could also imagine a move.
