Dortmund midfielder Sabitzer is regarded as one of the potential candidates for leaving the team, but in an interview a few days ago, the Austrian international denied the rumors and expressed his expectations for the Club World Cup.

After Dortmund signed Bellingham Jr., the competition in the midfield position in the team has become increasingly fierce. The most likely affected is Sabitz, who faces the risk of being a substitute in Dortmund for a long time. Many media have reported that Sabitzer has been on Dortmund's list of cleaning up, but his contract will be able to receive top salary in Dortmund by 2027. The club has not yet found a next home for him, and the players do not intend to actively promote the transfer.

Regarding his departure rumors, Sabitz said before the first game of the Club World Cup: "I am very satisfied and happy here, so I don't know where these rumors come from. People always need to write something. If this time I use me as a subject, then I will accept it."

Regarding the upcoming first game of the Club World Cup, Sabitz said: "I feel very good now and have confidence, so I am very happy to start the game again."

In the last season, Sabitz played 39 times for Dortmund, but only participated in one goal, so he is also considered one of the disappointing players in the Dortmund team.
