Top 5 Borussia Dortmund transfer targets to replace Mario Götze

Bernard (20), Attacking midfield, Atletico Mineiro

Scout Report

Bernard has taken the Brazilian league by storm over the last couple of years. He is lighting quick, full of trickery and possessed of sublime footwork and technique. He is starting to put his abundance of skill to productive use in terms of offensive output. An 11 goal, 12 assist season as a 19 year old has gotten all of Brazil excited about his potential. Genuine world class potential if harnessed in the right way.

Where does he fit at Borussia?

He’d be a perfect replacement for Götze. Like the German he is small and possessed of sumptuous technique and full of attacking menace. He would allow Reus to stay out wide.

How much?

Mineiro are thought to want £15m but in two years time that could prove to be a monumental bargain.
