Borussia Dortmund have reportedly agreed a deal in principle to sign Paris St. Germain goalkeeper Kevin Trapp in the summer.

Trapp was heavily linked with Borussia Dortmund earlier this season, but the club decided to stick with Roman Burki. However, after the Swiss international’s inconsistent performances throughout the season, the club have now decided to sign a goalkeeper. According to TuttoMerkatoWeb, Borussia Dortmund have reached an agreement in principle with PSG goalkeeper Kevin Trapp. The German international will sign a three year contract with Dortmund if the move goes through.

Trapp has endured a frustrating season with the French giants. He is behind Alphonse Areola in the pecking order and has made only ten appearances this season. The former Eintracht Frankfurt man has voiced his displeasure about his current situation in Paris quite a few times this season.

The 27-year old is unlikely to be part of Germany’s squad for the World Cup in Russia this summer. And he will be hoping to revive his career at Dortmund next season. It remains to be seen if Trapp will be the new number one or Burki, but surely, he wouldn’t sign if he was going to be second choice at Dortmund as well.

Paris St. Germain are likely to demand around 15 million euros for Trapp in the summer. And it will be interesting to see if Borussia Dortmund decide to pay that amount for their second choice goalkeeper.

Trapp joined the Parisians in 2015 for 8.5 million euros. In his first season, he made 35 appearances in the league, before inconsistent performances saw him get dropped for Areola last season.

Kevin Trapp is certainly an interesting choice, but it remains to be seen if he will be an upgrade on Roman Burki. He hasn’t featured much this season and there remain doubts about his consistency. It will also be interesting to see what Trapp’s potential arrival means for Burki. Whether he will choose to stay and fight for his spot, or move elsewhere.
