This summer, Borussia Dortmund resembles Bayern Munich in their transfer market strategy. The "Bees" aim to weaken their direct competitor in the race for a top-three finish, "Stuttgart," by securing the transfers of two key players.
Borussia Dortmund has officially announced the signing of Waldemar Anton. The 27-year-old defender has spent the last four seasons with Stuttgart and is set to replace Mats Hummels in the center of defense. The "Bees" paid 22 million euros for his transfer.
Simultaneously, the Dortmund team has agreed to purchase another Stuttgart player. The main sensation of the last Bundesliga season, Serhou Guirassy, will soon become a Borussia Dortmund player. The second top scorer of the German Championship last season will join the "Bees" for 18 million euros – the release clause amount specified in the Guinean's contract with the Bundesliga's silver medalists.
