Raphael Guerreiro

What’s happened with him to be available as a free. Does he want out and run down contract? Or Dortmund not arsed if he goes?

I’ve not seen much of him last year or two so not sure how his form has been.

“Borussia Dortmund came mightily close to ending Bayern’s Bundesliga monopoly, thanks to their strong surge in form following the winter break. Dortmund picked up the most points (46) and scored the most goals (58) in the Bundesliga in 2023, while no player tallied more goals and assists in the competition since the turn of the year than attacking full-back extraordinaire Raphaël Guerreiro (13).

The Portuguese assisted 12 goals in the Bundesliga this term, which was more than any other player, while his goal in the desperate final matchday draw with Mainz took his tally to a personal best 16 goal involvements this Bundesliga season.

A left-back on paper, Guerreiro has been one of the best playmakers in the Bundesliga in 2022-23, creating 47 chances from open play – a number only surpassed by the two attacking midfielders Jamal Musiala (52) and Moussa Diaby (53). No player managed a higher expected assists (xA) average per 90 from open play than he did, either (0.26 – min. 2,000 minutes).

Guerreiro will leave Dortmund this summer on a free transfer. Wherever he ends up, the team will enjoy a full-back whose quality going forward is almost unrivalled among his peers in Europe. Since he joined Dortmund in the summer of 2016, only Trent Alexander-Arnold can match Guerreiro’s 66 goal involvements (30 goals, 36 assists) among defenders in Europe’s big five leagues.”
 
I hope we get him as he would add that something different to our current options but it wouldn’t be crushing if he moved elsewhere if that makes sense lol

That makes sense. We have no idea how Guardiola will evolve his side next year, but Guerreiro would add something different from what we currently have and allow greater flexibility. If we want him, I imagine he will come.

He just has a choice to make if he leaves Germany or comes to England it seems mate? Either way he’s a squad player but I would like to get him and hopefully playing for Pep and having a load of his mates here and the premier league swings it our way

Would love Diaby as well if we were after a direct winger, but we’ve never seemed to show any interest
 
I think he's fantastic. Loved him since the Lorient days and I've always wanted to see him in sky blue. If we can shift Cancelo, he's the ideal replacement. Can play all over the place, scores goals, makes goals, and moves into midfield nicely, I think Pep would love to work with such a versatile player. Not saying he'd play every game, and he does have defensive deficiencies at times, but he'd be such a handy member of the squad to fill in wherever he's needed. I'd be very interested to see how him and Jack could link-up down the left as well.

Absolute no-brainer.
