German media: Fans are dissatisfied with Dortmund s signings, but the club hopes to introduce players at a low price later in the transfer window

This summer, Dortmund was relatively quiet in the transfer market. German media SPORT1 revealed the "Hornets"'s transfer strategy, and they hope to introduce players at a low price later in the transfer window.

Dote's lineup planning is underway, although it has not yet entered the high-speed operation stage. Although there have been many moves in leaving the team, fans are still anxiously waiting for the arrival of new players, and their dissatisfaction is gradually heating up. On social media, fans strongly demanded a strengthening of the roster, especially worried about the overall strength of the team. Fans’ criticisms are mainly directed at sports director Kyle and sports general manager Ricken.

What is certain is that the departure of Gitens (65 million euros) and Mukoko (5 million euros plus 2 million euros floating expenses) has brought a lot of money to Dortmund. In addition, the sale of Mullen (25 million euros) in the winter window is also a considerable income. Participating in the Club World Cup and qualifying for the Champions League next season further expanded the management's operating space.

In fact, Dortmund has invested about 60 million euros in the transfer market. Among them, Job Bellingham's transfer fee was about 30 million euros, Daniel Svensen spent nearly 7 million euros, and Young Cootto made the club pay 20 million euros due to the forced buyout clause.

Unlike the massive adjustment last summer, Ricken made it clear a few weeks ago that it would not undergo a large-scale blood exchange. Due to its outstanding performance in the Bundesliga at the end of last season, the club is confident in its current squad. Despite this, Dortmund will still have some targeted reinforcements, which is also the reason why Kyle and others keep calling.

Dotter hopes to continue loan forward Chuk Umeka, but Chelsea prefers direct transfers (about 30 million to 35 million euros), which exceeds the budget of the Bundesliga giants. Dortmund's other goals include John Bakayoko, but they lost to Leipzig in the offensive player's competition. Dortmund has secretly contacted Arsenal star Envanéri, but the deal seems to have failed.

Dotter's goal is to find young players who can immediately improve the team's strength and have potential, which is particularly necessary given that multiple players will have contracts expire next year. Dortmund urgently needs supplementation in the forward and wing positions. There are risks in relying too much on Gilasi, while the club is still looking for a next home for high-paying player Alai.

Although Kovac's tactics no longer strictly require a wing fast horse, with Gittens leaving and Duranville being injured, wing options became limited. Therefore, the Bundesliga giants are actively looking for alternatives in the transfer market, but are not in a hurry.

Kyle and others are waiting for the first domino in the transfer market to fall, hoping to get a bargain later in the summer window. The England clubs have only recently become active, which also supports their strategy. Despite its substantial income, Dortmund still needs to manage its fixed deposit accounts carefully. The high salary structure is a big problem, and many players are overpaid. Therefore, it seems unlikely that some players such as Alee, Sabice, Brandt and Emre Jan will leave early.
