BERLIN, Feb 16-- Michy Batshuayi is both a curse and a blessing for Borussia Dortmund. While the Belgian striker makes the Black and Yellows happy with his tremendous record of five goals in three games, this stunning success will most likely lead to his immediate farewell in only a few months. Thousands of fans quickly fell in love with him after the 24-year-old joined the club on loan from Premier League side Chelsea FC in the German winter brake to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Having been paid 1.5 million euro, the striker turned out to be a real bargain for the Westphalians, but will most likely cause broken hearts among fans and club officials shortly as Chelsea has agreed on the loan deal but rejected a buying option demanded by the 2017 German Champion. Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said the club is aware that every goal is making the Congolese-rooted forward more expensive, as Chelsea is keen to take him back. "We tried everything to get a buying option, but a no of Roman Abramowitsch obviously means no," Watzke commented. The 58-year-old called the surprising success of Batshuayi in Dortmund "still a lucky story for us" adding that "everyone has the feeling he has been with us for a long time." Watzke said Batshuayi is exceptionally comfortable with the team and fully integrated into the squad. Watzke announced Dortmund would make every effort to sign Batshuayi for good next summer. "There is always a chance, but we know we will have to face powerful competitors," Watzke emphasized. |
