As many as 11 players could be on the chopping block this summer, as Borussia Dortmund look to trim their squad ahead of next season.

Having already made three signings, the focus for Borussia Dortmund is now to sell some players from their bloated squad. Sport BILD report that 11 players could leave the club before the start of next season, including Raphael Guerreiro and Maximilian Philipp.

Raphael Guerreiro is definitely the most notable name on the list. The Portuguese international enjoyed an impressive campaign while playing on the left wing. But his contract is set to expire at the end of next season, and an extension seems unlikely at the moment. So, Dortmund could look to sell him this summer, with Thomas Tuchel and Paris St. Germain showing an interest in signing him.

Maximilian Philipp endured a disappointing campaign and fell out of favor despite starting the season playing as the team’s leading number nine. And following the arrivals of Thorgan Hazard and Julian Brandt, he is now further down the pecking order, leaving his future uncertain. A number of Bundesliga clubs are reportedly interested in signing him, including RB Leipzig, Borussia Mönchengladbach and VfL Wolfsburg. With all three clubs set to play in Europe next season, a transfer would make a lot of sense for Philipp.

Borussia Dortmund legend Marcel Schmelzer will also be allowed to leave, but it remains to be seen what his next destination will be. While fifth choice centre back Omer Toprak is also expected to join another club.

In addition to the four first team players, the seven loanees from this season are also free to leave the club permanently this summer. André Schürrle, Dzenis Burnic, Felix Passlack, Shinji Kagawa, Sebastian Rode, Jeremy Toljan and Alexander Isak have all been told that they have no future with Borussia Dortmund. Rode is expected to join Frankfurt on a permanent transfer, and there should be plenty of interest in Isak. But the others could struggle to attract interest, thanks in part to their high wages and poor form during their last loan spells.
