Dortmund transfer news: Bundesliga club could sell EIGHT players including Haaland, Sancho

According to reports flocking in Germany, Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund could play their 2021-2022 Bundesliga campaign without as many as eight first-team stars. The Black and Yellow could see players like Erling Haaland and Jadon Sancho seek a future away from Signal Iduna Park. Let's look at more into the Dortmund transfer news with the German club catching the limelight in recent times.

Borussia Dortmund are currently slotted sixth on the Bundesliga table. With over 20 matches played, the Dortmund outfit has managed to register ten wins, 2 draws and eight defeats in the league. Edin Terzić's men face an uphill task in the domestic league as Bayern Munich sit at the top with a staggering 16-point lead. Dortmund will also face a tough fight from teams like RB Leipzig, Wolfsburg, and Eintracht Frankfurt as they currently complete the top four rankings in Bundesliga. Fifth-placed Bayern Leverkusen also hold a three-point lead over BVB and look like a team fighting for a spot in next year's Champions League.

With a top-four finish unlikely, the German club is considering the possibility of missing Champions League football next season. They are weighing up the possibility of selling off their stars to raise funds for the upcoming transfers. If the club fails to qualify for the Champions League, most of their star players including the likes of Haaland and Sancho could end up leaving Dortmund in search for Champions League football.

Reports also suggest that Dortmund could have to slash their asking price up to £20m in order to sell Sancho off amid the financial crisis clubs are suffering due to Covid-19 as a rather relatively lower price tag could see clubs like Manchester United stay interested in signing the player.
