Vol 5 Chapter 22: Dortmund

Soon, the Shanghai Chongming Club and the Dortmund Club of Germany started negotiations on the transfer of Yan Min. Dortmund did not offer a quotation at the beginning, so now both parties have to have a unified opinion on Yan Min's worth.
Only when the problem of money is resolved can other issues be discussed.
Chinese media and fans are also very concerned about the transfer, but the confidentiality of the two clubs has done a good job, so no information has been disclosed to the public through the media.
Fans can only wait for a final result.
Dortmund is not just considering introducing a Yan Min this summer. It should be said that Yan Min was an unexpected gain. He was not in the signing plan of Klopp and Zork.
Leaving Goetze and Lewandowski, Dortmund must be recruited in the midfield and forward position to fill the gap left by the two.
So even if Yan Min is not encountered, Dortmund has already launched a signing operation in the transfer market.
In the midfield, they took a look at the young midfielder Mkhitaryan of the Shakhtar Donetsk and launched a competing battle with Liverpool-this summer, Liverpool also lost their offensive core, Suarez, urgently needed to make up Strong.
At the same time, Dortmund is negotiating with the Ligue 1 team Saint-Etienne Club, intending to introduce their team's number one shooter, last season's Ligue 1 silver boot winner Obameyan.
Klopp did not plan to recruit in the summer, he believes that quantity is not as important as quality. Dortmund’s main players only lost Lewandowski and Goetze, and there was no need to buy a lot of newcomers. The current structure of the team is stable, only need to add manpower in certain positions.
And Dortmund, who has been used to saving money and suffering, seems to have been stimulated by Bayern Munich's continuous corner-digging action, and decided to adjust his business strategy to be a luxury this summer.
In order to recruit, they prepared far more funds than the previous season. Moreover, the transfer of Goetze and Lewandowski also brought a lot of transfer funds to Dortmund. Among them, Getzer left with a transfer of 38 million euros. Although Lewandowski did not have that much, there were 25 million euros. Lewandowski's agent revealed to Bayern Munich In view of the specific content of their oral agreement with the Dortmund club, Bayern Munich knew that as long as the quotation reached 25 million euros, Dortmund would have to let go, so they paid this price and were reluctant to pay more. Not Bayern Munich stingy, but for disgusting Dortmund club...
Lewandowski and Goetze's departure brought Dortmund an income of 63 million euros, which is not counted as the Champions League bonus last season, it is also a lot of income.
Together, Dortmund does have capital in the transfer market this summer.
So in the end they took away the Armenian star Mkhitaryan from Shakhtar Donetsk for 25 million euros and defeated the competitor Liverpool.
In the transfer of Obameyan, Dortmund used 13 million euros to get it.
Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang are still in a league compared to the Bundesliga, especially Mkhitaryan is in the Ukrainian league, able to join the Bundesliga giants, or Dortmund, who just won the Champions League, is very good to them is attractive.
As long as the player himself is willing, the player's club can't afford much of the waves.
In addition, in the position of central defender, because Brazilian central defender Santana moved to Schalke 04 for one million euros, Dortmund also had to buy a substitute or rotation, so they spent 9.5 million euros from Werder Bremen bought Greek central defender Papasta Sopros.
Looking at the numbers of these transfer fees, aside from 17 million buyouts of Royce’s transfer fees from Mönchengladbach, now all three transfer fees have created Dortmund’s previous transfer fee record, even if it was a rotation Substitute central defender, Dortmund today is willing to come up with nearly 10 million euros, which was completely unimaginable before.
The Dortmund club may finally realize that they will be difficult to resist the impact from Bayern Munich if they continue to operate at a small capital.
In fact, this summer, the Dortmund club has two things to be busy, one is the transfer of referrals, and the other is to re-sign the contract with the players in the current team to increase their salary. This is certainly not what the Dortmund club is willing to do, but under the threat of Bayern Munich, they have to use new contracts to re-bind players. At the same time, players also have to ask for salary increases. After all, following the team won the league championship and the Champions League. He has contributed and is a hero. He hopes that he will be able to afford his own income.
The so-called professional players are, of course, playing football. If they are professional, then of course they have to talk about money, and money still plays a very important role.
This is not a matter of raising wages for two people, so for Dortmund, this is a huge expense.
Before the start of the new season, the media reported the salary budget of the Bundesliga clubs in the new season.
The total salary budget of the 18 Bundesliga teams reached 747,600,000 euros, a record number. The total salary budget of the 18 teams last season was 786 million euros, and the new season has increased by nearly 40 million euros.
Although the salary input has increased, the Bundesliga's income has also increased. The total marketing income of the league in the new season is about 2.1 billion euros. In addition to some other income, the total income must exceed this number.
Wage expenditure accounts for one-third of total income, which is a very ideal ratio.
Among the eighteen Bundesliga teams, Bayern Munich has the highest salary budget of 140 million euros, with a per capita salary of 5.6 million euros.
Dortmund, who won the league and Champions League last season, is the biggest increase in wages in the new season. Their growth rate has reached 40%. The budget for wages in the new season is 68 million euros!
This figure has exceeded Dortmund’s salary expenditure before the financial crisis. At that time, the annual expenditure of 52 million euros made the Dortmund club overwhelmed. Later it was cut to 35 million euros and was reduced to two thousand. Eight million euros.
Knowing this, let's take a look at the salary budget of Dortmund in the new season. We know how much this Dortmund has done to ensure the team's combat effectiveness. They really gave up the operating ideas and methods that they have been used to for many years.
The loss of two main players in one summer has really hit the Dortmund club. And these two main players are still poached by the same team. This team is also Dortmund's biggest competitor in the Bundesliga... All these reasons finally caused Dortmund to explode.
Fortunately, Dortmund is not short of money now, otherwise this summer may go far beyond just a few people.
Indeed, this summer Dortmund not only went to Goetze and Lewandowski, but also some players, but none of them are the main players of Dortmund. For example, forward Bittencourt transferred to Hanover 96 with three million euros. Santana went to Schalke 04 for one million, Moritz Leitner was loaned to Stuttgart, and Ovo Moyella left the club because the contract expired.
With the exception of Goetze and Lewandowski, the impact of the departure of others on Dortmund is actually very small.
In the entire Bundesliga, Dortmund, who has finally made a fortune, is not the second-highest salary budget team. Although they are already generous, think about it. In fact, their salary budget is not half of Bayern Munich. The financial gap between the two sides is very obvious. In the face of such a huge gap, Dortmund can suppress Bayern Munich for three consecutive seasons. It is really not easy...
In this new season's salary budget table, the second-ranked club is Dortmund's rival Derby Schalke 04. The salary budget of the "miners" in the new season is 80 million euros. In fact, Schalke 04 has always invested a lot in these years, but the results are not satisfactory. Maybe they should learn the enemy of Derby~EbookFREE.me ~Football cannot be invested without money, but if you only burn money... I am afraid it may not be a good thing.
Dortmund's salary budget ranks third in the Bundesliga, and the fourth is Wolfsburg, with 50 million euros. Leverkusen ranked fifth with 48 million euros. Hamburg and Stuttgart both tied for sixth with 40 million euros. The top three in the salary expenditure list are the newly promoted Brunswick. They are 15 million, which is the least among the 18 Bundesliga teams. Freiburg and Augsburg are both 17 million euros, tied for second place.
※※※
Just returned to Dortmund, Germany, less than a week after the correction, ushered in their first game of the new season-the German Super Cup, as the league champion, their opponent is the German Cup champion Bayern Munich.
Originally this case Goetze and Lewandowski faced the old club for the first time after transferring to Bayern Munich.
However, because of his injury, Goetze will surely miss the game.
At that time, only Lewandowski may play in the game, but whether he is a starter or a substitute, then I don’t know...
