Borussia Dortmund had little to do with the madness that played out towards the end of the transfer window when, for example, Antoine Griezmann returned to Atletico Madrid shortly before the store closed.
Although there was a message on the horizon that Paris St. Germain would approach BVB again because of Erling Haaland after the potential sale of Kylian Mbappe (22), but it did not come to an emergency on Strobelallee. The fact that the 21-year-old Norwegian is still wearing black and yellow can be considered a great success. After all, this year's transfer summer showed that almost nothing can be ruled out.
A specific topic at BVB was Callum Hudson-Odoi (20), with whom they had already agreed. However, Chelsea refused to release.
Early planning thanks to Sancho
Overall, the transfer window for Borussia was less hectic than elsewhere. One of the reasons for this was that sports director Michael Zorc and Co. were able to prepare the successor for Jadon Sancho at an early stage. Due to the gentlemen’s agreement from the previous year, it was clear that the Englishman would most likely return to the island this summer.
“It was foreseeable that Jadon Sancho would leave us this summer, but we got our dream player in Donyell Malen. We changed in the goalkeeping position and also reacted in the defense area. Overall, I see ourselves in a very good position, ”said Zorc, speaking to 'Sky' on Deadline Day, his personal conclusion.
BVB achieves transfer profit
With the 85 million euros from the Sancho sale to Manchester United, the Bundesliga club was able to tackle its plans without the financial pressure other clubs were exposed to. The bottom line is that the Dortmunders even have a large transfer plus of around 60 million euros.
In connection with the Sancho sale, the departures of Leon Balerdi (22 / eleven million euros), Thomas Delaney (29 / six million), Jeremy Toljan (26 / 3.5 million), Sergio Gómez (20 / 2.25 million) played ) and Lukasz Piszczek (36, free transfer) a total of more than 100 million euros in revenue.
In contrast, Borussia only spent 45 million euros on new players, only two of which cost a transfer. The paint transfer for around 30 million euros had top priority after the departure of Sancho.
Otherwise, Zorc only took another 15 million in hand for Gregor Kobel (23, VfB Stuttgart) to solve the problems in the goalkeeper position. The two newcomers Soumaïla Coulibaly (17) and Abdoulaye Kamara (16) left Paris St. Germain on a free transfer, Marin Pograncic (23) came on loan from VfL Wolfsburg.
A construction site remains
Despite the reasonable management, BVB could not get the desired full-back on board. The transfer of RB Leipzig's Marcel Halstenberg (29) did not take place despite weeks of negotiations, and Diogo Dalot (22) from Manchester United ultimately did not move to Signal Iduna Park.
That the defensive flanks are still the weak point in the BVB squad is obvious and possibly the only dent in the otherwise largely smooth transfer summer.
