I guess that there maybe one team that surprisingly wins the Bundesliga title, perhaps RB Leipzig or Bayer Leverkusen, but that would still not change that much for the league as a whole. I mean if Bayern Munich does not win the title for one year, it just means they will win it again one year later. It would still be miles away from having a seriously competitive group in the Bundesliga like they have in the Premier League or also in Italy where it would be impossible to predict the title winner for the next five years. Whereas in the Bundesliga I would say that at least 4 out 5 times Bayern Munich will win it. Their advantage is too big.

And this trend will gradually get the league to bore people because what are we  watching when in a way we know the end from the beginning, it will be very good and more interesting if another team could possibly get to win the title for the next two seasons that way we could have something to anticipate although it's seemingly possible this season that another wins the title.

Leverkusen and Leipzig are giving the hopes that they could possibly change the narrative a while with their performance so far but then it's still possible again as usual that by mid season Munich rise up again and start to dominate the whole league, the best contender would have been Dortmund if not for their consistent policy of selling off their good young talents, they should have by now built a formidable team who could win the League back to back without Munich wining the title often.

It is not a consistent policy of Dortmund to deliberately sell these great talents as soon as clubs like Manchester City or Real Madrid send in their offers. Dortmund has no choice but to sell them before they leave after their contract expires. Haaland would have never signed a contract with Dortmund if they didn't include the release clause into the contract. Dortmund is a league below these top clubs in terms of the salary that they can pay, but also public recognition. As far as I know they have made a record breaking offer for Bellingham to convince him of staying for a few more years, but what is the most likely result of any negotiation when at the same time Real Madrid is involved? There is no alternative for them but to let him go and make a lot of money. It's sometimes sad to see because think about all the world class players that Dortmund had to let go just over the last decade. They could be a brutal team now, but it is not how the market works. They either start winning a lot of titles and turn their own club into one of those highly prestigious brands or they will have to keep selling all the top talents that just use Dortmund as a preliminary stop before they take the next step to a world class club.
