Borussia Dortmund: The Epitome of Final youth product & Business.

Borussia Dortmund has always been the house where the youth players are well-groomed to exhibit their potential on the pitch. But it has been eight years since The Black and Yellows last clinched the primary domestic trophy.

Currently sitting on 2nd position, 4 points behind Bayern Munich, BvB always lacked the consistency. They would go on and bottle the league even if they were sitting in a comfortable position. For instance last season they had a comfortable 9 point-lead only to see their rivals pick up the trophy in the end.

In all this striving, one thing BvB remained consistent in was tailoring proper young prospects. These tailored-players would go on to create a buzz all over the football community. The end product would benefit BvB economically.

Initial product and their polish-off;

Borussia have made a significant amount of bills following the sale of world-class players. What is more interesting is the fact that they picked these potential stars when they were undeveloped and valued under the radar.

Here are some notable players who compliment our theory.

1. Ousmane Dembele

The young French who now plays in the Blaugrana colors once wore the colors of Yellow and Black. The 19-year old joined Borussia for nothing more than a penny. The winger has had an impressive career after scoring six goals and bagging 13 assists in the top-flight German league. One year later, the 20-year old winger was called to Spain after he benefitted from Neymar’s departure.

From the sale of this transfer, Borussia made a remarkable profit of €125.00m. They would go on to engineer their team and fill in the weak spots with a powerful one.

2. Christian Pulisic

The 21-year old American was a youth player of the Borussia Dortmund academy itself. He was 16 when he made his first appearance at Westfalenstadion. Pulisic tallied a total of 19 goals and 26 assists in his Germany-based career. 2 years later, the winger would join the Blues at Stamford Bridge.

The sale of this transfer profitted BvB with a total of €64.00m. Rapid bills!

3. Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho is the most sizzling-prospect at the instant. It seems he could take the exit from Germany this summer and relocate somewhere in England. BvB picked up Sancho from Etihad in 2017 for only €7.84m. They groomed him so he could manifest his potential on the pitch, and he did. In a total of 69 matches, he administered 27 goals and recorded 37 assists so far in Germany.

As of this moment, Sancho’s current market value is €117.00m, which means a profit of €109.16m.

4. Erling Haaland

Haaland is one of the most hottest-project in the world alongside Sancho at the moment. He is not up for sale as we speak, but the 19-year old Norwegian is breathing fire in the German league. Dortmund signed Haaland for €20.00m this season. He has fired nine goals and picked up two assists in eight appearances.

If Dortmund were to sell him this minute, his market value is €72.00m, which would give them a whooping profit of €52.00m.

5. Julian Brandt

Brandt is another player who deserves some applaud. The German joined Borussia in the 2019/20 season for €25.00m. He was given 33 starts in which he scored 7 times and bagged 8 assists. Apart from these he is an essential creative catalyst for the Yellow Walls.

He is not transfer-listed yet but if BvB were to put him in the list, his name is worth €40.00m as of now. Thats some €15m profit.

We are aware 2/5 players are not listed to be sold, and Borussia Dortmund is not a money-bound club. However, these are some interesting facts about how Borussia fabricates a youth product into a stat-padding brute and create a buzz all over the community.
