Borussia Dortmund is determined to prevent Real Madrid from making an attempt to sign their first-choice goalkeeper, Gregor Kobel. Spanish newspaper AS had previously reported that Real Madrid might make an offer for Kobel if they are unable to secure a contract extension for their current No. 1, Thibaut Courtois, before the end of the season.
However, Dortmund has firmly stated their intention to retain their goalkeeper and are keen on extending Kobel's contract beyond 2028 to deter any potential interest from other clubs. Furthermore, Kobel himself has expressed no desire to leave the club, believing he can compete for titles with BVB in the future. The 28-year-old goalkeeper rejected a move to Newcastle United during the summer to remain at Signal Iduna Park, where he joined from Stuttgart for €15 million in 2021.
