According to information reported by Sky Sports and confirmed by Fabrizio Romano this Thursday, the young French defender of Borussia Dortmund, Soumaila Coulibaly, is about to join the Racing Club in Strasbourg. The transfer would be estimated at around 8 million euros, marking a new selection for the Alsatian club. Initially, a transfer to England was envisaged for the 21-year-old player, but a loan to Alsace now seems more likely.

According to Fabrizio Romano, a leading journalist of transfers, Coulibaly should be purchased directly by the Racing, for a sum of 7.5 million euros, thus avoiding a passage through the English clubs. This decision is part of a strategy to strengthen the Strasbourg team with a young and promising profile.

The French defender, currently under contract with Borussia Dortmund, has already made his ranges thanks to loan experiments. Last season, he was loaned to Stade Brestois, where he played seven games in Ligue 1, eight in the Champions League and one in the Coupe de France. The previous season, he moved to Antwerp, Belgium. He should sign a five-year contract with the Racing Club in Strasbourg.
