1. Dortmund are a selling club
2. They just did a liverpool in the league, atmosphere will not be that great at the end of the season and their coach might leave, especially given the fact that he does not have that good a relationship with Reus.
3. They always say they won't sell.
4. Dortmund almost went bankrupt not so long ago. They won't miss the opportunity to make 90 mil profit on a kid. It's a good decision from a business point of view, call it a risk reward. If he has a bad season in 2020 they won't get 50 mil on him.
5. They have zero chance of winning anything in Germany so they always look to make a quick profit on players, that is their business model.
6. Sancho had a good season, his agent will ask for a hefty wage increase, that's another risk for 1 more season.
Dunno, I just feel they'll easily sell if someone comes with 100 mil.
1. Yes that is true, the CEO admits it too.
2. If 'did a Liverpool' means competing for a title this late in the season not many outside the club really thought they would be competing for, then yes, that is also true. Not sure how being 2nd and a couple points back would mean the atmosphere will turn bad.
3. Not always. Depends on circumstances. If players wont re-sign, then, the club will sell and won't hide the fact either. If a player acts like a small child and goes on strike, then yes, they will sell - on their terms.
4. Since then, Dortmund have worked their way back to being a very well run club, and have been a consant presence in European competition for near on a decade, the near bankruptcy serves as a remimder, but not a business model. They will make a big profit on Sancho next summer.
5. Zero chance? Dortmund have won 2 leagues and 2 cups in the past 8 years as well as getting to a CL final that no one expected them to get too, let's not make out the club haven't won anything or can't compete, or won't in the future.
6. He signed a new contract earlier this season, Dortmund don't need to panic and sell him now, they can wait till next summer at least.
