So what’s the best we can hope for if ETH is not planning with him for next season?
To loan him to Dortmund and if he does well to hope they or some other club buys him?
I am not even sure he would do well at Dortmund. It won’t be easy to do well after being an EPL flop.
Previously when he played for them it was all rosy: pressure free, young lad, on borrowed time anyway because everyone knew he would end up in the PL sooner rather than later, they gave him very good wages knowing it would not be forever but this way they could keep him a bit longer, etc.
The situation this time would be completely different for him. If he doesn’t perform there we will keep loaning him to different clubs until his contract expires. Him being back at Dortmund while his ex teammates Haaland and probably Bellingham will be playing well for City and Madrid.
