Sporty OK, economically a stroke of luck and a springboard: At Borussia Dortmund, the ambitions have risen again by the club World Cup in the USA.
After a difficult Bundesliga season, BVB wants to attack again in the coming season. BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl made a transfer statement after the spectacular quarter-final against Real Madrid after the spectacular quarter-final.
“There will be a little more on the transfer market,” said Kehl after the 2: 3 (0: 2) against Real Madrid in East Rutherford near Manhattan. “We will certainly do something. We will do the team better than last year.”
In three weeks of income of over 100 million euros
Kehl now has the necessary financial resources. In the United States, the Westphalia earned around 45 million euros in prize money. In addition, only a few hours before the quarter-finals on Saturday, Kehl finally brought Jamie Gitten’s 65 million sales sales to FC Chelsea. For the last awarded and now sold, Yousufa Moukoko and Sumaila Coulibaly will flow to the BVB account.
Even if you deduct the costs for the USA trip of a good ten million euros and the player bonuses of three million euros, there is more than enough. Especially since the World Association FIFA is supposed to subsidize the costs of five million euros. BVB also knows that BVB, as the second German association, was involved in the FIFA money printing machine in addition to FC Bayern.
“We already have a few advantages. But we also worked hard,” said Dortmund’s marketing managing director Carsten Cramer from the German Press Agency. Cramer spoke of a “luxurious situation” to be able to work for BVB.
He also rubbed his hands in the United States, was pleased with global range increases, well over two million new social media followers and a new supplier deal with Puma, which is to rinse more than 300 million euros in the cash registers by 2034. “Our networks, our partners, the number of our fans, our digital reach, of course our sales are getting bigger,” said Cramer.
Ricken side cuts against Bayern
Sports Managing Director Lars Ricken also flew back to Germany happily despite the defeat. “We are eighth in the European ranking, stood in the quarter -finals of the Champions League and now in the top eight in the world. That is impressive,” said Ricken the dpa, even making a swipe against FC Bayern, which was last hurried nationally. “Internationally, no German team has been better than us in the past two years.”
In view of the Champions League final, this is also correct against Real 2024 (0: 2). Nevertheless, BVB will have to do a lot to permanently remain the largest Bayern rival nationally. Despite the narrow result against the Real trained by Xabi Alonso, the BVB de facto 90 minutes had no chance before Maximilian Beier was connected to 1-2 in added time and was seven minutes with a red card against Madrids Dean Huijsen, a penalty for Dortmund and two other goals.
Comfortably realistic assessments of Kovac and Groß
In the end, Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois even saved his team with a brilliant parade against Marcel Sabitzer from extra time. “That would certainly not have been fair,” said BVB coach Kovac, so honestly. The 53-year-old also criticized his team’s game in the first half as “too slow and too static”. This assessment applies to four of the five Dortmund games in the United States.
As much as those responsible for the BVB to participate in the round of the last eight at the club World Cup and thus as a supposedly one of the eight best team worldwide – international Pascal Groß summed up the sporting level in the USA: “You have to classify that correctly. I believe that another football is played in the Bundesliga.”
And with all the range increase that BVB has achieved in the past three weeks, it also became clear on Saturday what lies between the most important club in the world and the Westphalia. Of the almost 77,000 spectators at the huge Metlife stage, almost only real fans were from all over the world. The global media interest in the royal was also larger than at BVB.
“We know what tasks we still have in the world,” said Kehl. “We don’t want to and cannot compare ourselves to Real Madrid.” But at best again with Bayern in the coming season.
Switch from Dortmund’s Jamie Gitten to Chelsea perfect
The change from Borussia Dortmund’s offensive player Jamie Gitten to Chelsea is perfect. As the English first division club announced, the 20-year-old received a long-term contract for the blues by 2032. BVB had previously announced in a statement that “all parties involved” agreed on a change.
The transfer is expected to be around 65 million euros in the BVB desired. “It feels great,” said Gittens, according to FC Chelsea. “It is a great feeling to switch to such a large club as Chelsea.
I can’t wait to learn from everyone in a team and do my best here. It’s an incredible feeling. “
Difficult negotiations with Chelsea because of Gittens
Gitten had already completed the medical check with the blues last weekend. After that, the 20 -year -old Englishman returned to the Dortmund team quarters in Fort Lauderdale because the agreement was reached. FC Bayern Munich is also said to have been interested in the right foot.
Gittens moved from Manchester City’s young talent to Dortmund in 2020 and has since played 76 Bundesliga games (12 goals) and 23 games in the Champions League (5 goals) since then.
