Doan Ritz is attracting the attention of Borussia Dortmund.
Florian Flettenberg, a reporter for Germany's Sky Sports, said on his personal SNS on the 13th (Korea time) that Dortmund entered the competition for a design. Eintracht Frankfurt is still showing great interest in him and plans to start negotiations next week. Dortmund are expected to enter the race and face a fierce battle with Frankfurt."
Reporter Flettenberg said "26-year-old Doane is ready for a transfer. Freiburg's director is asking for at least 20 million euros (about 31.6 billion won). Doan's contract is valid until 2027 and no buyout clause exists separately," it added.
Born in 1998, Doan of the Japanese national team grew up in Gamba Osaka and showed his potential, and as soon as he made his debut, he succeeded in entering Europe for the first time in a year. Doane, who moved to Horonningen in the Dutch league on loan, immediately rose to prominence and received a full transfer offer. After two good seasons at Horonningen, he moved to prestigious Dutch club PSV Eindhoven.
My first season in the Netherlands was a failure. As a result, he left for Arminia Bielefeld again on loan. Having regained his confidence at Bielefeld, Doane went back to Eindhoven and proved himself. It was the 2022-2023 season that he entered the big league.
SC Freiburg boldly recruited Doane. Doan's transfer was bad news for South Korea's national team, Jung Woo-young. Jung Woo-young, who was playing for Freiburg, was pushed out of the main competition when Doan joined, and his playing time was reduced to less than half compared to the previous season. In the end, Jung Woo-young was forced to move to Stuttgart in the 2023-2024 season.
Doan, who pushed Jung Woo-young out, continued to perform well. Doane, who has established himself as Freiburg's ace, has succeeded in being recognized as the league's top striker by scoring nine goals and eight assists in 33 league games this season. As a result, top-ranked German Bundesliga clubs are trying to recruit Doan.
Doan is also one of the main players in the Japanese national team. He has been selected to the national team since 2018 and has already played 57 games. It became the core immediately and was appointed at the 2019 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup, 2022 Qatar World Cup, and 2023 Asian Cup. If Doan moves to Freiburg or Dortmund, it is good news for Japanese soccer.
