According to the July 12th newspaper, Dortmund senior executives are considering introducing Manchester City's 22-year-old midfielder McCarthy.

Julian Duranville (19 years old/shoulder surgery for several months) has increased the urgency of Dortmund's signings. The media revealed that after completing the transfer deal between Job Bellingham (19 years old/30.5 million euros from Sunderland) in June, Dortmund was determined to complete another major signing from England.

Dortmund senior Vatsk recently made a clear statement: "We still hope to introduce young talented players with extremely high development potential." Dortmund general manager Lars Ricken (48 years old) and sports director Sebastian Kyle (45 years old) are continuing to pay attention to the 22-year-old England National Youth Captain James McCarty. The Manchester City star was not on the top list of signings, but returned to sight due to Duranville's injury.

After winger Jamie Gittens (20 years old/65 million euros transfer to Chelsea), Dortmund urgently needs a frontcourt all-rounder who can be competent on both the wing and the middle. McCarty is proficient in three positions: regular midfielder, and can also serve as a central midfielder or right winger.

Bodiac pointed out that McCarthy's lineup with superstars in Manchester City is difficult to play stably. He made only 15 Premier League appearances last season (scoring 3 goals), but his performance in leading England's U21 to the European Youth Championship is impressive. He has decided to leave the team this summer.

Mccarty has only one year left in the contract with Manchester City, and it is expected to sign him in about 23 million euros. The sale of Gittens gives Dortmund a financial advantage over other competitors. Frankfurt has been inspecting the player for a long time, but is currently unable to bear the transfer fee. Dortmund senior executives are evaluating the list of potential signings and ultimately choosing McCarthy as their target.
