Borussia Dortmund’s star goalkeeper Gregor Kobel could be on the move this summer, with Premier League clubs Chelsea and Newcastle United actively pursuing the Swiss international, according to reports from journalist @Santi_J_FM.
Sources close to the situation indicate that initial contact has already been made with Kobel’s representatives, and discussions are expected to intensify in the coming days. The 26-year-old’s agent is reportedly traveling to London for further negotiations, a strong signal that both Chelsea and Newcastle are serious about bringing the Bundesliga shot-stopper to England.
Kobel, who has been a standout performer for Borussia Dortmund since joining from Stuttgart in 2021, is now considered one of Europe’s most reliable goalkeepers. His consistent performances in both domestic and European competitions have not gone unnoticed, and with Dortmund already bracing for his potential departure, the summer transfer window could mark a major turning point in his career.
While Dortmund have not yet received an official offer, internal sources suggest they are resigned to losing Kobel, especially if a lucrative bid arrives. His current contract with the German club runs until 2028, but an exit this summer appears increasingly likely as interest mounts.
For Chelsea, who are reportedly evaluating long-term options in goal amid uncertainty over Kepa Arrizabalaga and Robert Sánchez, Kobel would offer experience, leadership, and top-tier shot-stopping ability. Meanwhile, Newcastle are also looking to reinforce their squad, particularly after an injury-hit season that exposed depth issues in key positions.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Gregor Kobel’s future is expected to be one of the major storylines, and with high-level meetings planned in London, a Premier League switch could be just weeks away.
Stay tuned for updates as this developing story unfolds.
