Mahmoud Dahoud made 162 Bundesliga appearances for Borussia Dortmund (2017-2023) and Borussia Mönchengladbach (2010-2017) before his move to the Seagulls, as well as 30 outings in the Champions League, 19 in the DFB Cup and 11 in the Europa League. A former European Under-21 Championship winner, Mahmoud registered 13 goals and 33 assists during his first spell in Germany.
VfB sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth: “We’re delighted that Mo Dahoud, a player who will make us even better, has opted to join us. Mo has already displayed his enormous footballing ability in the Bundesliga and on the international stage. We’re sure he’ll settle in quickly with us and will therefore prove to be a valuable addition to our game from the get-go.”
Mahmoud Dahoud: “I’m really pleased the move to VfB has gone through. It’s nice to be playing in the Bundesliga again. VfB is a great club with a great tradition and wonderful fans. They play an exciting and impressive brand of football. I already know some of the players from the U21 national team. I’m looking forward to reuniting with them at VfB and can’t wait to get started on the pitch with the rest of the team.”
