Borussia Dortmund Look to Lassana Diarra in Desperate Attempt to Save Season
Borussia Dortmund could be about to turn to forgotten former Chelsea, Arsenal and Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra in their desperate attempts to continue fighting against what would be a shock relegation from the Bundesliga.
Jurgen Klopp’s Dortmund were the toast of Europe less than two years ago, reaching the Champions League final in style in 2013. However, Die Schwarzgelben have endured a dreadful season so far, sitting level on points and goal difference with Freiburg at the bottom of the table.
The loss of veteran midfielder Sebastian Kehl to injury is another big blow in the fight against relegation and Bild reports that a deal to sign free agent Diarra is now likely as a result after discussions between Klopp and Dortmund chiefs Han-Joachim Watzke and Michael Zorc.
Once a contemporary of players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Angel Di Maria and Sergio Ramos in Madrid, Diarra has been without a club since he left Lokomotiv Moscow under a cloud in August.
The 29-year-old former French international was on the radar of Premier League strugglers QPR as soon as he became available, but the London club passed on him after he refused to lower his high wage demands.
