Dortmund is associated with many young Premier League players in this summer, but German media Bild pointed out that it is becoming increasingly difficult for the Yellow and Black Legion to sign the players they want from the Premier League. The report pointed out that Dortmund and young stars from Britain have created success stories in competitive and financial terms. Dortmund has earned more than 200 million euros in transfers in the past few years with the transfers of Bellingham, Sancho and Gittens.

Therefore, this summer, Dortmund has almost always been associated with a talented young player in the Premier League: after Manchester City's McArty (21), Tottenham's Moore (21), and Arsenal's Envanieri (18), it is reported that Dortmund has now targeted a talented young player from Manchester City, namely Bob, 22.

However, due to a previous leg fracture, Bob's career has recently stagnated. He has been on truce from August 2024 to March this year, but has now recovered from health. However, given the star-studded lineup of Guardiola, his chances of becoming a regular starter are considered quite slim. His current contract is 25 million euros by 2029.

Bodiac pointed out that it is becoming increasingly difficult for Dortmund to sign up from the Premier League. Since Chelsea loaned to Chelsea, the situation has become obvious: Premier League teams are no longer willing to "gift" their talented players easily, and watch them suddenly break out in the Bundesliga.

Dotter is facing many examples of the same situation: Just like Chuk Umeka, the Yellow and Black Army is willing to loan the talented but often injured midfielder for a season with a desperate attitude, but the current buyout option worth 35 million euros has shown that Chelsea seems to have learned from past mistakes.

Another example: Tottenham's Moore is considered one of England's most promising geniuses. Tottenham is also said to be willing to loan the skilled wide player - he can also play in the middle or forward, but does not set a buyout clause. For Dortmund, such a transaction has no profit and therefore has no meaning.

Boenix Bild pointed out that since Bellingham, Sancho and Gittens, Premier League clubs have already known in their minds: how much money they will lose if their talented players soar in the Bundesliga.
