Klaus Allofs can imagine an early sale of goalscorer Dawid Kownacki. The sporting director of Fortuna Düsseldorf would react to a corresponding offer for the free transfer striker in the summer, as he told the ‘Ruhr Nachrichten’: “If we actually got into such a situation, then we would have to deal with it seriously.” Kownacki’s post-season exit has been in the works for some time. Several Bundesliga clubs are interested.
A catastrophic scenario for the second division. In 2020, Fortuna paid 6.8 million euros for the 25-year-old Pole. Kownacki’s farewell in the summer is therefore not only a sporting loss (so far twelve points in 17 league games) but also an economic one. “We’re not in a situation where we can keep a player at any price. But then we would have to have a replacement up our sleeves.”, Allofs continues. Offers could also come in for World Cup driver Ao Tanaka (24). Allofs see however “At the moment there is no constellation at all that they are leaving us both”.
