BVB make key transfer decision to attract more stars | OneFootball

After years of restraint, Borussia Dortmund is fundamentally changing its transfer strategy. Release clauses and better conditions are set to give BVB new advantages in the battle for top players.

Borussia Dortmund is revamping its transfer strategy. To more frequently attract top players in the increasingly competitive market, release clauses will no longer be taboo for the Black and Yellows. According to information from Bild, those responsible are now willing to be "significantly quicker" to compromise in negotiations with potential new signings—a clear shift from previous years.

This change in thinking is particularly evident in the case of Nico Schlotterbeck. BVB has been in talks with the national player for weeks about an early extension of his contract, which runs until 2027. They are apparently ready for the first time to offer him a release clause. Reportedly, this could be around 60 million euros.

The move towards more flexibility with exit clauses is mainly due to strong competition. Within the Bundesliga, clubs like Leverkusen, Leipzig, or Frankfurt are now also successfully vying for players with development potential.

Release Clauses as a New Lure in BVB's Transfer Plan

To "increase the appeal," BVB is now deliberately using arguments that should make a move to Dortmund more attractive. Last summer, they signed striker Serhou Guirassy with a release clause—an exception that could now become a possible model.

In addition to the new transfer line, Dortmund is also working on improvements off the pitch. The training ground and locker rooms are to be modernized and expanded to offer more comfort to the professionals. Furthermore, they are considering finding a partner club. The goal would be to loan young talents more easily and give them early match practice.

With this combination of contractual flexibility, modern infrastructure, and clear development prospects, Borussia Dortmund aims to be more competitive in the race for coveted players—reconnecting with earlier times when top talents almost naturally took their next career step at BVB.
