Deadline Day in Belgium

After the end of the changeover phase in the major European leagues, Borussia Dortmund still found a buyer for the sales candidate Thorgan Hazard. The 30-year-old striker is moving to his native Belgium to join RSC Anderlecht, according to reports, a transfer fee of 4 million euros is due. As announced late Wednesday evening – the last day of the transfer window in Belgium – the 47-time international signed a contract until 2026.

Hazard’s sale will take Dortmund’s transfer earnings to around €112m this summer, surpassing three clubs in the Bundesliga. This is offset by expenditure of EUR 62 million. BVB only collects a fraction of the transfer fee that went to Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2019 (EUR 25 million), but also saves an annual salary of a rumored EUR 5 million – Hazard’s contract would originally have expired next summer.
