Maintain their stability within a good range is something others need to learn from Dortmund, even after sales of key players, they still finish decently and not lag behind the way other team do when they have key players sold of, indeed the management of Dortmund has got the business IQ and understands it too well that they know how well to place their team and always getting that which they want both with finance, team depth and trophies. Last season they appear they were really aiming at trophies so they had most of their players kept to achieve that but somehow it didn't work as planned.

After releasing Jude Bellingham, it can be said that last season Dortmund did not have many players with high value for them to release. That's why not many Dortmund players attracted much attention, although some names like Moukoko were of interest to Premier League clubs. IMO, I don't see Dortmund focusing on competing with Bayern Munich last season. I mean, after they almost broke Bayern's dominance, they failed. Dortmund didn't make many changes after that, but in this transfer window there is something different about this BVB squad. Although if we try to compare, Bayern Munich is much stronger based on team depth. What's unique about Dortmund, even though they released their star players, they were still able to consistently stay in the top four of the Bundesliga. Only last season, Dortmund struggled to finish in the top four. But amazingly, they entered the Champions League final even though they lost to El Real. The 2024/25 Bundesliga season is coming soon, we will see Nuri Sahin's performance with Borussia Dortmund. Can he, it's interesting for us to follow every development. Moreover, several other teams also seem to be providing tough competition in the fight for the trophy. My guess for now, Bundesliga is quite interesting with some changes that have occurred. which means, it is possible that the competition will not only occur between two teams. I mean, whether it is Leverkusen, RB Leipzig, Dortmund and Bayern Munich, they will overtake each other after the new competition starts.

Yes, it is very much possible that the competition is not going to happen between the two teams. And I hope that the competition does not happen only between two teams. I hope that the other teams will also be able to show good performance as well. But if we talk about which teams will be able to compete for the Bundesliga title, I think at the end of the day we have to say that only two teams might be able to do that and those are Bayern Munich and Leverkusen.

Of course, I want that to change. But will it change? I personally don’t think so. I always want to see a team compete for that title very closely is Dortmund. But that also generally does not happen. Leipzig has been showing good signs. I hope there is going to be a good competition between at least four teams for the title.
