Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund are targeting Nigeria’s Super Eagles striker, Paul Onuachu as replacement for Erling Haaland.
Dortmund are reportedly bracing up for the imminent departure of top striker Erling Haaland, who is the primary target of nearly every major club in Europe with Chelsea, PSG, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United among his suitors.
The eight-time German league champions have been linked with a host of strikers to fill the youngster’s shoes, including Fiorentina’s Dusan Vlahovic, Red Bull Salzburg star Karim Adeyemi, and Ajax forward Sebastian Haller.
According to Sky Sport transfer expert, Marc Behrenbeck, Dortmund have Onuachu on the list of strikers to replace the Norwegian.
The 27-year-old has been linked with a number of top clubs in Europe following a stellar campaign for Genk in the Belgian Pro League last season.
After scoring 35 goals in all competitions last term, Onuachu has found the back of the net 11 times in 15 games so far for Racing.
And the tall hitman, Nigeria’s most prolific goalscorer in Europe this season, would likely jump at the chance to sign for Dortmund, even if his preferred destination is the English Premier League.
Currently valued at €22 million by Transfermarkt, Onuachu has a contract with Genk that runs until the summer of 2024.
This season, he has scored nine goals in 10 league games so far and one more goal each in the Champions League qualifiers and the Europa League.
