Earlier, news from ESPN said Dortmund had started in-depth negotiations with the Vienna Fast Club on the summer window transfer of Austrian winger Demir.
Supposedly, Dort's eyeing a young player is not big news, after all, this is the route they have always adhered to. But this time was different, as Demir had played briefly at Barca. In the summer window of 2021, Barca quickly loaned Demir to Vienna on a loan term. Prior to this, the 18-year-old had already had a scandal with many European giants, including Manchester United. In the end, Barca laughed to the end and brought the FM demon to Camp Nou. But the moment the loan agreement was signed, it was decided that there was not much time left for Demir to prove himself.
The agreement stipulates that if Demir makes 10 appearances, Barca will need to pay 10 million euros to buy it out. After joining Barca, Koeman also gave Demir a chance. In the second round of La Liga, Demir made his Barca debut; in the fifth round, Demir had his first starting opportunity, and in the sixth round, Koeman continued to let Demir start. In the Champions League match against Bayern, Demir played for half an hour, becoming the youngest player in Barca's all-time Champions League debut outside Messi.
All these signs seem to be on the bright side, and if Demir can continue to realize his potential, there is hope of convincing Barca to pay 10 million euros to buy it out. But after that, Demir's performance began to decline, and Koeman lost confidence in him, preferring to play as a right winger with Dester rather than give Demir a chance. After Harvey took over, demir was expected to get more opportunities due to the injuries of Fati and Dembele, but Aboud's appearance made his future uncertain again. In the end, after playing nine games, Barca pressed the termination button and Demir was officially told that the club would not use him again, and the loan was terminated early.
Demir's performance could not persuade Barca to pay a €10 million buyout for him, but Dort saw the potential in the youngster. Barca's first hundred million-dollar signing in history was the introduction of winger Dembele from Dortmund. Now Dort has a crush on Demir, who was "driven away" by Barca, and is also a winger. So the fans started the mode of ridicule: "Cultivate Demir well, and sell another 100 million to Barca in the next year." ”
To be honest, ridicule is ridicule, but it is not impossible. Even if it does not sell 100 million to Barca, Dort is entirely likely to sell Demir to other giants at a high price after "processing".
First, Demir's potential is unquestionable. He is fast, skilled, adept at flank assaults, and his dribbling skills and vision are commendable. Demir appeared in the professional league at the age of 16 and began to gain a foothold in the first team at the age of 17, playing in the Europa League and successfully promoting to the Austrian international and appearing in the World Preliminary Round. In the 2020-21 season, Demir played 25 games in the Premier League and scored 6 goals in 6 starts, quickly attracting the attention of the five major league teams in Europe.
Although he could not gain Barca's recognition through hard work, he was only 17 years old when he joined Barca. Being able to win the favor of a giant at barca's level at this age is a great achievement in itself. And Barca's failure to buy out is not a question of Demir's potential, but the economic situation. If Demir had to make another appearance, he would have to pay 10 million euros, which was no pressure for Barca a few years ago. But considering that the budget of the winter window is only 20 million, they cannot use half of it on the young generals who need time to realize their potential, what they need is immediate combat power.
Second, Dot has fertile ground for cultivating geniuses. Dortët is different from Barca in that they got Demir through a transfer. Once you join, you will definitely cultivate it with all your might. Look at the Bellingham they snatched from manchester, which has risen to 75 million after 1 season. According to this momentum, Bellingham will sooner or later attract the interest of the Premier League giants, and the transfer fee will definitely exceed 100 million.
Demir was very disappointed when he left Barca, but this step was obviously too hasty. For this kind of player from The 3rd Division of Europe, the Bundesliga is a very good platform. If there is a chance to join Dortmund, Demir must seize it, which is a shortcut to Europe's top giants.
