Kyle: Dortmund spends about 100 million euros this summer to sign ups similar to last year and must ensure qualifying for the Champions League

September 8th News Dortmund's operations in the transfer market have been criticized this summer. However, with the club's financial situation, sports director Kyle still did a lot of work. In an interview with Biography, Kyle reviewed the club's transfer operation.

Regarding how many expected goals have been achieved in the transfer window this summer

We have achieved many predetermined goals. Looking at the departure, Alle, Giovanni Reina, Mukoko and Kulibali all transferred successfully, and these players no longer have much development prospects for us. We managed to get them to transfer and leave, and I think the conditions are pretty good.

We made early investments by buying out Svensen and Young Cootto, and signed a player like Job Bellingham who can change the situation of the game in advance. In this way, our spending has reached nearly 60 million euros. After that, we were very clear that some players had to be sold before we could continue to invest. We achieved this in July mainly through Gittens' transfer.

Regarding which transfer made me nervous the most

I was very nervous all summer, with a lot of calls and meetings. Each transfer has its own uniqueness, especially when it is going on abroad. Transfers within the Bundesliga are usually simpler, but this time we deal with clubs that are not short of money has greatly changed the negotiation stance. British clubs often take action at the last minute of the transfer window, knowing that with their financial resources, they can wait for possible ripple effects. Therefore, we must be patient in order to complete the transaction.

Transfer fees for Chukuemica and Fabio Silva

Fabio Silva is a very outstanding striker with a bright future. However, he can't even enter the top 100 in the global transfer fee ranking this summer! Chukuemeca will rank lower. This shows how much money is flowing in the transfer market.

Regarding whether all budgets have been used up

, we have already spent all of them in this transfer window.

About Sancho

Sancho is an excellent player who has left a deep mark on Dortmund. We know what he can bring, but there must be realistic economic conditions. Similar to last summer, we invested about 100 million euros in this transfer window. But we don’t have the support of a country, chief or billionaire behind us. We have to make money ourselves, and in the long run, we can only spend the money we earn.

Regarding whether Brandt and Emre Jan have a chance to renew their contracts, we have some players whose contracts are about to expire, which is not a bad thing, and it can even help us, each player has the opportunity to show themselves in the coming months. We have good communication with all the players and will sit down and discuss the future at some point.

Regarding what kind of results Dortmund should get

We must ensure that we qualify for the Champions League and cannot wait until the last round to achieve it. We have to earn more points in the first half, which was our main issue last season.
