"Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke insists the club will demand a high transfer despite the 23-year-old nearing the end of his contract—citing Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer's move to Bayern Munich as an example.
'It's pretty obvious what Shinji's qualities are, how old he is and how valuable he is for this team. Then I look at the money Bayern paid for Manuel Neuer. He had one year left on his contract, too. You can derive a sum from that,' said Watzke.
