Borussia Dortmund have registered interest in Roma's Matías Soulé, but this remains firmly at the watching stage. There is no bid on the table and no advanced talks between the clubs. Roma have set their asking price — discussion centres on a fee somewhere between £27.5m and £32.3m — and the 23-year-old attacker is tied down until June 2029, which hands Roma strong leverage and no need to sell. The link has been carried by Skysport, a credible voice, which cites a €38m figure, while Nicolo Schira — another reliable reporter — noted Dortmund's interest against Roma's price but was clear there is no bid or advanced negotiation. So this is early-stage reporting from two trustworthy sources rather than a deal taking shape; the substance is interest, not momentum. The engine's 28% reading means this is against the odds — more likely to stall than to complete. For it to climb, Dortmund would need to move from admiring to acting: a concrete bid near Roma's valuation, and a willingness on Roma's part to part with a player on a long contract. The long deal and Roma's retention strength are precisely what hold it back. History suggests the money is sensible. Soulé joined Roma from Juventus for £24m in 2024, and Roma have banked similar sums before — selling to Chelsea for £30m (2017) and to PSG for £27m. A fee in the high twenties to low thirties is in keeping. Watch for the first formal bid from Dortmund, or any sign Roma soften on price. Until then, this stays an interest story.
