Borussia Dortmund chief Watzke cleared over private plane use
Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens celebrates his side's first goal of the game during the German Bundesliga soccer match between Borussia Moenchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund at Borussia-Park stadium. Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has dismissed speculation that he met with Bayern Munich board member for sports Max Eberl over a potential sale of Dortmund forward Jamie Gittens to the Bundesliga champions. Federico Gambarini/dpa Borussia Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke, who is bidding to become president, has been cleared of misconduct after being accused of billing private flights to the club. The Ruhr Nachrichten newspaper said on Tuesday that the anonymous allegations from 2023 had been investigated but that no further steps would be taken. Advertisement The newspaper quoted Dortmund as saying: "All three review bodies – the compliance officer, the main committee of the advisory board, and the audit committee of the supervisory board – unanimously determined after thorough examination of the matter that Mr Watzke acted fully in accordance with internal guidelines." Watzke, who is in the midst of a presidential election campaign as he looks to step away from the day-to-day running of the club, said: "It is good that both committees unanimously deemed the anonymous allegations to be unfounded. For me, the matter is now closed. "However, I find it disappointing that internal details from Borussia Dortmund's confidential committees have been leaked to the public despite comprehensive confidentiality obligations for all involved. Such behaviour destroys trust in internal discussions, which should be conducted robustly on the issues without fear of being used to damage the reputation of individuals." It had long been expected that current Dortmund president Reinhold Lunow would step aside and allow Watzke, 66, to run unopposed. However, Lunow announced his intention to run again this November and the pair are reportedly at loggerheads.

Gladbach midfielder Neuhaus suspended from first team for 'unacceptable' video
Borussia Moenchengladbach midfielder Florian Neuhaus has been fined and banished from the first team after being filmed while appearing to mock the Bundesliga club's sporting director. In a video posted on social media, Neuhaus could be seen talking to several people wearing Gladbach kits about sporting director Roland Virkus. The 28-year-old appeared to call Virkus "the worst manager in the world" and referenced the sporting director's role in deciding his salary of four million euros ($4.71 million) per year. Gladbach said they had imposed a "heavy" fine on Neuhaus and suspended him from training with the first team for four weeks, with German daily Bild reporting the fine was worth around 100,000 euros. "The behaviour and statements of Florian Neuhaus are damaging to the club and unacceptable," Gladbach's CEO Stefan Stegemann said in a statement on Thursday. "He has damaged the club with his words and deeply disappointed the people involved, which is not compatible with the values of the club." Neuhaus joined Gladbach in 2017 and has made over 200 appearances in all competitions for the club, but mainly featured as a substitute last season and played just 17 times in the league as they finished 10th.

Reports: Chelsea submit offer for Dortmund's Gittens
Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens celebrates his side's first goal of the game during the German Bundesliga soccer match between Borussia Moenchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund at Borussia-Park stadium. Federico Gambarini/dpa Chelsea are after Borussia Dortmund's English forward Jamie Gittens and have offered €35 million ($40 million), according to German reports late Saturday. However, Dortmund are said to want €50 million for the 20-year-old who arrived at the Bundesliga club in 2020 from Manchester City's academy. Advertisement The reports said that Gittens has agreed to join the Blues on what could be a seven-year contract until 2032. Chelsea are reportedly not in a hurry to get him as they are not necessarily planning to have him in their squad for the Club World Cup in the United States which starts on June 14. They are rather playing for time in an effort to lower the transfer fee. Ruling body FIFA has a special transfer window for the 32 clubs participating in the month-long event, which ends on Tuesday. Gittens has played 106 games for Dortmund's first team, scoring 17 goals, 12 of them in the past season. But he was not a regular starter lately.
