Even if Lucas Bergstrom is supposed to leave after his contract, Mike Penders will take part in GENK on July 1st, and there are also rumors of serious interest in Gregor Kobel from Borussia Dortmund.
The Swiss stopper, who played for Dortmund in the Champions League final last season, is to be estimated by the Bundesliga team of 51 million GBP. This number would make him the third most of the goalkeeper in football history, behind only Alisson (£ 67 million) and Kepa (72 million GBP). The latest reporting from Germany indicates that Kobel is ready for the “next step” of his career.
