Interesting. how do Dortmund compete in the competition for trophies, I don't think that's the scenario. the point is, Dortmund is targeting to finish in the top 4 of the Bundesliga. plus, they will automatically follow the Champions League competition. well, if they have an opportunity like this season, Dortmund will not waste it to stop Bayern Munich's dominance. despite the fact, they failed to win a trophy. but if the opposite happens, it means that Dortmund can break the dominance that has been held by Bayern Munich. unfortunately, Bayern were too strong and are still going strong in the next few seasons to dominate the Bundesliga. except, if they experience a downward trend like this season. which ultimately opens up opportunities for the team under them to compete strictly in the race for the trophy.

Well, because what we are discussing is related to the sale of players carried out by Dortmund. it seems, @hahay's point is that Dortmund are still competing at the top of the Bundesliga, even though they have released several important players in the transfer window. but uniquely, it does not affect the team in every new competition. why is it unique, because Dortmund were still able to finish in the top 4 even though they played young players as substitutes for players who had left. by the way, I've said it a lot in many posts, so we agree that Dortmund focus on business and not be so ambitious in the race for trophies.

But, even though it is clear that Dortmund only wants to do this, but Dortmund has loyal supporters and/or fans. I think that's a great thing, because normally fans will ask for the club to focus on winning titles and not just focus on making money from player sales. I don't know how long this practice will continue to be carried out by Dortmund because of course, if Dortmund continues to do this then Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga will certainly be difficult to stop.

Dortmund and Bayern Munich have completely different strategies and plans. Bayern Munich aims to build a strong squad and win titles. Not only in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich also wants to dominate the Champions League. For this reason, they are also ready to spend a lot of money. On the other hand, Dortmund's goal is to produce players. They often buy young players from the Eredivisie League and develop them with more experience. And in this task the Dortmund management is successful. Dortmund has produced several star players. But if the Dortmund management is financially strong, maybe they will also want to dominate the Bundesliga.

They have no other option for selling the star players as other clubs give them much more money that cant Dortmund affort.
Dortmund has also some nice sponsors and they allways getting some extra when they playing in the Champions League.
Buit yes the most Money and income are for selling players , its sad but they have to doing it.

Dortmund is one club that's known for profiting from the sales of young players. Over the years we have seen them recruit young talents and sold them at a very good price. Dembele, Aubameyang, Sancho, Haaland etc are just few of many players they have profited from. Maybe as long as it is good business at they end of the day the management is okay with it and trophies are given less importance. Because I don't see how a team that wants to compete at the highest level, at the highest competitions and win silvawares have a tradition of selling it's brightest talents. If they don't change from their habit, Dortmund will have no place in europe and Germany.

For some seasons now Dortmund haven't won The Bundesliga title and it's due to the lack of potential players capable of overthrowing Bayern Munich who has been their greatest rival of all season. In the case of players-trade, I don't think Fans will remain mute for this long if the club had another lucrative source of generating income. The fans Believe it's their only way of keeping the club going. It isn't their joy that they keep selling star players, Dortmund doesn't have any other reliable sources of income than trading with players.

however, players who have great potential and are still young will be attractive to other big clubs. this is a competition as well as a business. Dortmund has been running this for a long time. and as a consequence, they are not strong enough to compete with Munich who have dominated the Bundesliga for so long.
Dortmund look comfortable with what they are doing at the moment. but do not know whether the business they are running by selling their best players will continue to do so. however, the Bundesliga is also not as competitive as the Premier League. and it becomes an attraction for young players to try the tougher competition.

If they can keep doing that then it's a good idea but how long could they do that for? I do not think that it would be a smart decision. I think it would be good to sell those players but then they need to build a very young squad to keep repeating that.

Getting a 30 year old to replace the 20 year is a horrible decision and they have done so a few times before. Just because the player they got is great, doesn't change the fact that they are old, it could be even a better player, but still old. They need to get someone maybe even worse, but someone at max 20 years old, that way they can improve the player and then play at UCL and make them worth a lot more and sell them again, that way they can keep making a profit, that's a lot better.

Statistically, in the Bundesliga, Dortmund remains a strong challenger to Bayern Munich in the title race, much like Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga. In fact, this season they narrowly missed out on winning the Bundesliga due to goal difference, which ultimately granted the title to Munich. Over the past nine years, Dortmund has consistently finished in the top four, except for the 2014-2015 season when they finished in seventh place. These statistics at least help Dortmund avoid the label of being a "selling club."

Regarding the sale of star players and acquiring talented ones, I believe all teams make efforts to retain their star players. Sometimes, high offers from other teams can make management reconsider selling their assets. From the players' perspective, they might also consider joining other top teams for various reasons, such as higher wages, seeking new experiences, and achieving individual milestones that they can attain by joining clubs in more competitive leagues like the English Premier League.

There's nothing really wrong with what Borussia Dortmund did and it's perfectly legal. But like you said, they're not going to be an absolute top club when doing something that requires them to start from the bottom again. Let's say they have a strong team foundation to maintain balance when they lose their valuable players, but they can only be at that level forever because to get other great players they have to build again from the bottom. It's another case when they have players who are ready to fight, it will benefit them and in terms of playing they will definitely continue to improve.

That is definitely true. As far as i know Borussia Dortmund is a club that is financially very healthy nowadays. They don't have debts like Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and also most english Clubs. The only Club that is healthier in terms of financials is Bayern Munich.
So in terms of finances Dortmund is doing the right thing in buying young and promising players and then sell them for huge money if they are developing great.
The problem is, that you will never become a absolute top club that way. For that you need to keep your best players.

It is critical to keep hold of key players who have showed tremendous promise as Borussia dortmund explores roster adjustments to improve their title chances after placing second in the Bundesliga. Tom Rothe has demonstrated his value and ought to be a crucial member of the team offering steadiness and consistency to the group. In the meantime Giovanni Reyna has distinguished himself as a terrific impact player with exceptional talent and maturity above his years. There is every reason to think that he will continue to succeed in the future season given his talent and tenacity. Ramy Bensebaini improves upon Raphael Guerreiro and boosts the defensive line thereby strengthening the team. While Alvarez might be a good Bellingham replacement Dortmund would be well to consider the idea of adding another player to add depth and competition to the club. With these adjustments Dortmund can look to the future with hope and pursue excellence in the upcoming season.

Leverkusen and Xabi had experience fantastic moment last season because under Xabi Leverkusen has been change became an strong team in Bundesliga and Xabi has successfully to improved Leverkusen position from 16th place to 6th place at the end of competition and it automatically make them will playing at european competition and in europa league too Xabi has made a history with bringing Leverkusen to reach semifinal match and this is their first time since 21 years ago

Some people considers Xabi is potential coach and they even predict someday if Klopp leave Liverpool then he can be considering as the replacement of Klopp and about him and Leverkusen i am quite optimistic Leverkusen will be performing better next season under him especially Leverkusen almost be certain to get new player Granit Xhaka from Arsenal but Xabi too have to ensure other key players will be staying because some players such as Moussa Diaby and Jeremie Frimpong has been targetted by big team just like Manchester United

Maybe next season there will be a very significant difference for the Dortmund team, because they still have the motivation and enthusiasm to fight to become champions in the Bundesliga. But Dortmund is expected to be able to close the gap for Bayern Munich so that Dortmund will no longer be a shadow of Bayern Munich next season. And I'm sure Dortmund will be able to do very well next season if Dortmund still have very high consistency to win the Bundesliga.

I know that Borussia Dortmund is considering roster changes to strengthen their chances of becoming champions having finished second place in the Bundesliga. Some players I feel should still be retained in the team are Tom Rothe, and Giovanni Reyna. Giovanni Reyna was such a phenomenal impact player. I believe he can deliver in the next season. I'm looking positively towards the new season. Dortmund have already strengthened the team with Ramy Bensebaini, which in my estimation is a big upgrade from Raphael Guerreiro. I think that Alvarez would be a great replacement for Bellingham, although they might need to sign another player as well.

It has very strong relationship with the history of dortmund.

Dortmund was not care about getting a trophy but the problem if it must also try to be aware with the condition from financial of club. Dortmund is not a club that owned by billionaire like other league. Dortmund has been owned by its fans and the income were not so big for the club to keep playing and pay all of expenses that already made by the club. Developing and investing in youth talent has become the only solution for dortmund right now.

The club can survive till now. I remember that when dortmund was bailed out caused by it has been facing very huge debt and dortmund use the strategy to use young talent as investment to leave from such problem and it worked.

No one was surprised by the statement and in fact Dortmund openly do their business every transfer window comes around. Maybe what makes me a little confused is whether these Dortmund fans have never protested against the club owner's policy of always selling their star players when they are a little closer to winning the Bundesliga title if these players can last longer at Signal Iduna Park. We know very well that so far Dortmund has been very smooth in doing its business and has always generated hundreds of millions of euros every season.

Dortmund always stays afloat because they not only sell but also buy young and promising players, they buy players with great potential and help them to open up. Of course Dortmund benefit from this, but I also see that they are not focusing on the fact that selling a few players will affect their results, because the main team stays and brings new players to their usual level. It's not only Dortmund that does this, and if this model works for them, then they will use it.

For all football teams, money is most important thing and with much money new teams can buy any kinds of trophies,  regarding with Manchester City progress winning Primer League until UEFA Champion League tittle can't separated how their build teams with much money. I think Bundesliga have change the rule of owner sharing with how much percent and new investor has chance for getting more than 50% of ownership in one team.

Dortmund seems priority with the money than winning tittle on every season, looks with current transfer players Dortmund leave by many star player every season and selling them with higher values make them earn much profit for every season. Dortmund have balanced with business but looks they can't dominance for winning Bundesliga on every season.
