Overview
- Deichstube, relayed by Goal/AFP, reports Dortmund have contacted Werder Bremen about the 22-year-old goalkeeper, with the level of interest not yet clear.
- Backhaus has been Bremen’s No. 1 this season with 31 games, 54 goals allowed, and five clean sheets across all competitions.
- He is under contract with Bremen until June 30, 2028, which strengthens the club’s hand in any talks.
- Dortmund’s depth features Gregor Kobel as starter, Alexander Meyer as a 35-year-old backup, and Diant Ramaj returning from a loan at Heidenheim.
- SC Freiburg are also tracking Backhaus as cover if Noah Atubolu departs, which could create competition and raise the price.
