In recent years, Borussia Dortmund's economic and sporting measures have served as an example for other clubs.

In all the last trade markets, the players of the German team have always been highly desired by other clubs. But the peculiarity of this is that most of the players they are looking for are very young, such as Dembele, Pulisic, Sancho, Gotze, Halland and so we could continue with a long list. Not only does he find young players of excellent level but he acquires them for a small sum of money.

In recent markets, Borussia Dortmund has sold players less than 21 years of age for more than 380 million euros, investing less than 30% of the proceeds. To give an example, Dembele had cost the club only 12 million euros and sold him to FC Barcelona for 130 million. The agreement with Manchester United for Sancho would be closed soon for more than 100 million euros; Dortmund bought it from Manchester City only for 8 million.

Not only the clubs envy Borussia Dortmund for his economic structure and projection of youth players, but also for the sports part, as with a young team they always manage to fight for the Bundesliga and European tournaments. In the last Champions Leagues, Borussia Dortmund has been protagonist, reaching the final in 2013 where they lost against Bayer Munich.

Another good move in recent years was the acquisition of forward Erling Haaland, who at 20 years of age is one of the most coveted forwards on the market. His great scoring effectiveness means that Real Madrid is thinking of paying a millionaire sum to have the Norwegian striker in his squad. The good decisions of the Dortmund leadership make today, after going through several crises, one of the most envied clubs in Europe.
