Dortmund chief Cramer: No pressure to sell despite financial losses

Borussia Dortmund's chief Carsten Cramer has stated that the Bundesliga club will not be compelled to sell their top players, despite a financial loss of €21.7 million in the 2025-26 fiscal year. This loss is a significant drop from the €6.7 million profit made in the previous year. Cramer expressed confidence during a recent interview with broadcaster Sport1, assuring that the core of the squad will remain intact for the upcoming summer transfer window.

While some player sales may still take place under the right economic circumstances, Cramer emphasized that the club is not focused on constant player sales. Instead, the primary goal is to enhance the team's performance on the pitch. Dortmund and Bayern Munich are currently tied at the top of the Bundesliga following a 2-2 draw between the sides.

The Black and Yellow team last won the Bundesliga under Jürgen Klopp in 2012, with Bayern Munich winning every title since then, except for the 2024 season when Bayer Leverkusen emerged as the champions. Cramer also hinted at the possibility of January arrivals for Niko Kovač's squad, stating that the club will act at any time if there are viable opportunities.
