Marcel Sabitzer leaves pre-season dinner amid Dortmund exit speculation

Summary

Marcel Sabitzer's future at Borussia Dortmund is uncertain following his early departure from the club's annual pre-season dinner on August 16, 2026. Reports suggest that with Joey Veerman's impending arrival from PSV, Sabitzer may face increased competition for a midfield position. The 32-year-old has only one year left on his contract, making a potential summer transfer more likely. Sabitzer's reported €8 million annual salary could complicate finding a suitable buyer. The club and player have not confirmed any developments regarding his status.
