If Schulz ends up moving then Philipp Max could be a good option to replace him at Hoffenheim. Would also help him further his career development at a bigger club
speaking of RBs for now seems like these guys from younger age groups. 96-97: Henrichs (both sides), Stenzel, Klostermann, Klunter, Okoroji, Ananou, Bader, Dehm 98-99: Amade (also DM), Goden, Hemmerich, Passlack, D.Itter, Ozkan would like to see Henrichs do better and Klunter get chances, did well when he played this season. Wonder if Klunter gets a chance if Lazaro leaves? as for the 98-99, only Goden seems to have made real progress in 1BL-2BL. The rest a few games or still in II, or Hemmerich on loan to 3rd Liga.
Hopefully Dortmund find Passlack a good club for next season. Ideally a club in 2BL. At this point of his career, it's probably better leave completely as loans have proven to be problematic for his development.
It'll be interesting to see whether Jordan Beyer gets developed as a RB or CB in the future. A taller defender similar to Klostermann in build but doesn't have the same natural pace. He's played both positions at Gladbach, while more as RB for the U19 NT this season. The 2000's look more formidable in RB depth with also Ludewig, Smolinski and Treu as other notables at the youth level. Vagnoman looks to be a future LB but has played both sides before.
one reason why Vagnoman is mostly LB (although both) is that HSV have 00 RB Knost part of the 1st team.

Nico Schulz and #BVB have in principle agreed on terms. The Hoffenheim wing-back is supposed to replace Marcel Schmelzer (Sport Bild).— Manuel Veth (@ManuelVeth) April 16, 2019
Sören Dieckmann who joined Sandhausen from Dortmund reserves is out for the season with a knee injury https://www.kicker.de/news/fussball...sandhausen_saisonaus-auch-fuer-dieckmann.html
Schulz the top candidate in Dortmund's LB search https://www.kicker.de/news/fussball...che_schulz-beim-bvb-in-der-pole-position.html
Mittelstädt linked with Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg. If Schulz goes to Dortmund then Hoffenheim would work out well http://www.fussballtransfers.com/bu...erkauf-mittelstadt-zur-liga-konkurrenz_103102
Both of them are quality LBs but IMO Halstenberg holds an advantage over Max right now. Max is very similar to Schulz in playing profile. So it'll be too duplicative to have them together in the selection. Halstenberg brings some different elements as a backup alternate LB when it's need. He's more defensively solid and has a strong fighting mentality, also is there to step up to convert on penalty kicks for Leipzig. With these 3 choices in the NT picture, it seems unlikely that Gosens will get a look due to the depth and competition unless he further raises his performance or moves onto a more noticeable club in Europe.
