According to German media Bild, Dortmund has a long interest in Norwegian midfielder Nipan, but they may lose to Manchester City again in the competition after Sherky. The report pointed out that Dortmund has been paying close attention to Nipan from Rosenberg for several months, and his name became an issue in Dortmund as early as last winter.
This talented offensive midfielder is currently signed with Rosenberg until 2026, with a current market value of 15 million euros. Although he was only 18 years old, he has grown into the team's main player in Rosenberg: he played in 70 official games, scored 14 goals and assisted 11 times.
Nipan's biggest advantage is that he is a flexible No. 10 player, capable of being the midfield and even serving as a forward. Dortmund regards him as a much cheaper alternative than Serky: the latter has been close to joining Dortmund twice, but both failed at the last moment due to high transfer fees. A few weeks ago, Serky just moved from Lyon to Manchester City for a total price of 42.5 million euros.
And now, despite just getting the traditional organizational core of Serki, Manchester City is also actively involved in the competition for Nepin. Compared to Sherky, Nipan is a low-priced player, and he can leave the team with a transfer fee of 15 million to 20 million euros.
Nipan is regarded as the hottest talented player in the entire Scandinavian region. The report said that he wanted to take the next step in his career this summer anyway, and in the competition with Manchester City, Dortmund faces returning empty-handed again.
In addition to Manchester City's generous salary, another big factor that may make Nipan's ultimate preference for Guardiola is: in Manchester, he will have a superstar compatriot Haaland by his side, and they may also play together for the Norwegian national team in the future.
Nipan has made 6 appearances for the Norwegian U21 national team so far. He has completed his U21 debut as early as 17 years old and 8 months old. In his hometown, this genius, seen by many experts as "New Odgao" is considered a matter of time before entering the adult national team.
In addition to Manchester City, Aston Villa also has high hopes for bringing Neppan to England. Therefore, Dortmund's top leaders Kyle and Ricken are already looking for other alternatives…
