Dortmund’s Champions League qualification has financial implications beyond the Bundesliga.
By securing a Champions League spot, Dortmund receives a significant financial boost.
This could allow them to potentially retain loan players Jadon Sancho (Manchester United) and Ian Maatsen (Chelsea) who were instrumental in their success.
Both Manchester United and Chelsea are known to be looking to offload some players due to Financial Fair Play regulations, and Dortmund’s improved financial position could strengthen their bargaining power to keep these players.
Previously, Dortmund might not have been able to afford keeping both loanees, but the Champions League revenue provides a potential solution as reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano: “Understand BVB will really try to keep both Ian Maatsen and Jadon Sancho with UCL fresh funds.”
