The move signals a measured plan to grow a high-potential academy midfielder into the senior setup.

Overview

  • Borussia Dortmund awarded defensive midfielder Mussa Kaba a long-term professional contract at the club's Brackel training base.
  • Sporting director Ole Book praised Kaba's technical skill and strong physique and said the club will give him time to reach the first team.
  • Kaba joined Dortmund in 2018 at the U11 level and has since earned German U17 international honors.
  • He made six appearances for Dortmund's U23 in the Regionalliga West and started twice in the Premier League International Cup, which BVB won 1-0 against Real Madrid.
