RADOM, POLAND – AUGUST 23: Marcel Regula (C) and teammates of Zaglebie Lubin getting into the field prior to the PKO BP Ekstraklasa 2026/27 match between Radomiak Radom and Zaglebie Lubin at The Radom Municipal Stadium on August 23, 2026 in Radom, Poland. (Photo by Jan Borys/Eurasia Sport Images/Getty Images) | Getty Images The injury to Giannis Konstantelias has hit the BVB fanbase hard. Really hard. I spent much of the day yesterday in an emotional funk, fluctuating between devastation, anger at the universe, and just a general sense of emptiness. Ole Book, however, has no time for “emotions”, whatever those are. He has gotten right back to work, scoping out how he will adapt his squad to the loss of his star signing. Two names have been bandied around on the interwebs today, those of Arsenal’s Ethan Nwaneri, and Zagłębie Lubin’s Marcel Reguła. 🚨⚫️🟡 Der #BVB prüft verschiedene Optionen, um auf den Konstantelias-Ausfall zu reagieren. Eine Spur führt nach Sky Infos nach London zu Ethan Nwaneri (19/🏴). Die Dortmunder prüfen in diesen Stunden die Modalitäten für ein Leih-Geschäft. Nwaneri war schon vergangenen Sommer… pic.twitter.com/IdNs94kGqe— Patrick Berger (@berger_pj) August 31, 2026If you have spent any time in the Dort-o-sphere in the last few transfer windows, you know the club have made no secret of their interest in Nwaneri, but have not yet been able to make the terms work for the club or player. It seems Nwaneri is willing to play ball, but BVB will have to see if Arsenal are interested in making a suitable deal for their young attacking midfielder. Reguła piques my interest a bit more. The 19-year-old Polish attacker is lesser known, and likely available for a permanent transfer at an agreeable fee. 🚨⚫️🟡 Marcel Regula (19/🇵🇱) von Zaglebie Lubin ist jetzt tatsächlich ein ernsthaftes Thema beim #BVB, wie @wlodar85 vermeldet hat. Gespräche laufen auf Hochtouren! Es geht hierbei sogar um einen festen Transfer. Ablöse würde unter €10m liegen. Gibt #BVB das finale Go, schlägt…— Patrick Berger (@berger_pj) August 31, 2026The chatter across the interwebs today suggests that he would be an apt replacement for the style of Konstantelias, as a right-footed, tricky attacker with great technical ability. While Nwaneri may be more interested in competing with Karetsas, Reguła would be a better complement. If Reguła can cement himself in the squad, he could be a quick turn investment for BVB, or an opportunity to actually build quality squad depth. If not, his transfer fee would likely equate to something similar to Nwaneri’s loan fee. And come on, who doesn’t love a Pole in Black and Yellow? It’s heritage. Will Dortmund move for one or both of Nwaneri or Reguła on deadline day? Which would you prefer? Let me know in the comments.
