Emre Can no longer wanted by Borussia Dortmund
German newspaper Bild published a report stating that Emre Can is no longer part of the team’s plans. Apparently, this is not because of his performance, beyond the fact that he has been constantly injured, but because of his attitude, which has annoyed his teammates and the coaching staff.
Borussia are asking for €10 million from whoever decides to keep the player in this transfer window.
