Dortmund pulls out of El Mala deal

Borussia Dortmund has decided to pull out of the race for Said El Mala, the German club confirmed this Friday. After several days of negotiations and speculation about a possible arrival, the BVB has chosen to end what appeared to be a viable operation in the transfer market.

The Dortmund board's decision comes after an intensive tracking period for the player, during which various scenarios were considered. With this move, the Ruhr club closes one avenue of reinforcement, choosing instead to pursue other options or wait for different opportunities to strengthen its squad for the upcoming Bundesliga campaign.
