Thomas Meunier is not immediately planning to leave Borussia Dortmund. But if it does come to a transfer, the Red Devil will arrange it himself.

The 31-year-old Meunier is in his third season at the German top club, which took him over from PSG. He is a regular, but has only played fourteen times this season due to a fractured jawbone. Meunier was briefly linked to FC Barcelona, just like Yannick Carrasco, by the way, but it never came to a transfer.
The Red Devil’s contract expires in mid-2024, so within a season and a half. So Meunier thinks about his future and he prefers to determine it himself. So he no longer has a manager.

“It is true that I now represent myself,” said Meunier at SPORT1. “I don’t think that’s unusual. I have been in the football world for a long time and after all these years I know the top people of all the big clubs. I have all those contacts. If at some point I need a new challenge, I can call the clubs myself and sort it all out.”
But for now it is already Dortmund that counts. “I still have a contract here, with a big team with which I still have plans,” said Meunier, who will be sidelined for a while with a muscle tear in the calf.
