Borussia Dortmund squad development strategy

Overview

Borussia Dortmund has transitioned toward a strategic recruitment model focused on high-potential young talent. During the 2026–27 pre-season, midfielders Felix Nmecha and Jobe Bellingham emphasized their goal to take on more responsibility, noting their improving chemistry and statistical contributions to the team.

Following this period, the club implemented an aggressive transfer strategy, investing approximately 108 million euros in new players such as Joane Gadou, Konstantinos Karetsas, Joey Veerman, and Giannis Konstanteilias. While this approach has generated 38 million euros in transfer revenue, it has also altered the squad hierarchy. Established players like Marcel Sabitzer now face increased competition for positions, as the club prioritizes the development of its new signings.
