Is Gabriel Gudmundsson drawn to Dortmund or Leipzig?

Gabriel Gudmundsson, currently under contract with FC Groningen, arouses more and more desire among top clubs. No wonder, the Swede is in a certain way a rarity: a young and talented full-back who is not yet under contract with a top club. However, this could change in summer: So have Football International According to RB Leipzig and SSC Napoli, there is great interest in the 21-year-old, but Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund are also watching him.

Gudmundsson’s contract, which was used more often on the wing last season, runs until the summer of 2022 with the Dutch first division club.

RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund: What is the situation on the left-back position?

RB Leipzig has two regular left-backs with Angeliño and Marcel Halstenberg, the Spaniard is clearly set. Halstenberg mostly plays in central defense under head coach Julian Nagelsmann, but only moved back to the left after Angeliño’s failure.

At BVB, Raphael Guerreiro is the measure of all things in the back left, but it is repeatedly speculated that the Portuguese under Marco Rose might move into midfield from the coming season due to his high game intelligence and creativity. Then the black and yellow would have Nico Schulz, who cost a proud 25.5 million euros in the summer of 2019 and has not yet been able to meet expectations.

If Schulz changes and Guerreiro moves into midfield, Gudmundsson could quickly establish himself as a left-back if he performs well.

SSC Napoli and Manchester City: where would Gudmundsson place himself?

At Napoli, the wish of a left-back is likely to outweigh the most of all clubs. Due to a torn cruciate ligament by Faouzi Ghoulam (30), there is currently only one left-back in the squad: Mário Rui (29). In general, both are no longer the youngest, so a makeover would look good on the Italians.

Manchester City, who are again on their way to win the Premier League in England, have two left-backs with Benjamin Mendy and Oleksandr Zinchenko in their squad, but absolute satisfaction with both is limited. Mendy, who cost almost 60 million in 2017, does not live up to expectations, Zinchenko was retrained by Pep Guardiola. There would also be a need there.
