Borussia Dortmund stalls on Matías Soulé as €40m price looms

Borussia Dortmund are postponing negotiations over Argentine winger Matías Soulé as AS Roma have set a €40 million price tag, club’s cautious approach comes amid a summer transfer window where a major departure is required to satisfy Financial Fair Play rules.

AS Roma face a crucial summer transfer window, needing to finalize a major departure before any incoming signings. The requirement is driven by Financial Fair Play regulations and the need to rebalance the club’s books.

The market’s hottest names are Matías Soulé and Manu Koné, both viewed as players with high resale potential. Their prospective sales could generate the capital gains essential for unlocking new deals.

Technical evaluations within Roma are split; the coaching staff would like to keep Manu Koné, while Matías Soulé’s situation appears more open to a possible sale. The club’s financial demands could influence the decision in the coming days.

Roma have placed Soulé’s price at around €40 million, a figure that currently poses a significant obstacle for interested clubs. Borussia Dortmund emerges as one of the most likely destinations, yet the prospect remains uncertain.

Borussia Dortmund is known for a prudent and sustainable investment policy, rarely exceeding set spending limits. The only recent exceptions are the acquisitions of Ousmane Dembélé for €35 million and Sébastien Haller for €31 million.

Dortmund’s final decision on Soulé will likely depend on the upcoming financial demands and the club’s commitment to economic sustainability. Until then, the Argentine winger’s future remains unresolved.
