Borussia Dortmund are at risk of losing one of their academy's brightest talents. According to German broadcaster Sky, 17-year-old forward Matis Alber is seriously weighing up a move due to a lack of first-team action. This season, the promising player has made just two official appearances under Niko Kovac, which clearly does not align with his career ambitions.
Top European clubs have jumped at the chance to capitalise on the player's situation. According to TEAMtalk, citing weltfussball.de, Manchester City have emerged as the frontrunners for Alber's signature, boasting a stronger position in negotiations than their rivals. Interestingly, the Citizens attempted to broker a deal last summer, offering a hefty €20 million, but Dortmund firmly turned down the bid.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are also closely monitoring developments, continuing their quest to lure young talent from across Europe while maintaining a keen interest in Alber. If Dortmund's coaching staff do not place more faith in the youngster soon, the Blues may make another attempt to secure the winger in the upcoming transfer window.
