BVB IN EVANILSON COUP

BVB struck a curious deal with the Italian side that saw Marcio Amoroso arrive at the Westfalen with £4.76 million and £10 million-rated Evanilson heading for Parma next term.

The 25-year-old wing back had earlier stated that he was happy in North Germany and The Schwarz-Gelben have moved swiftly to ensure that Evanilson returns if it does not work out in Italy.

"We have secured a clause," confirmed sport manager Michael Zorc.

Meanwhile, a host of Dortmund fans have had talks with Jens Lehmann in an attempt to sort out the increasing animosity towards each other.

The Borussia keeper was attacked by his own fans in a recent friendly game and club chiefs felt it was necessary to discover the feelings of player and supporters.

"I hope that we have created the basis for a reasonable, healthy and fair relationship between Jens Lehmann and our fans," declared president Gerd Niebaum.

In the conversation Lehmann conceded that he had made some errors on and off the pitch and in turn a spokesman for the BVB fans apologised for "stepping over the line."
