More and more Bundesliga clubs want to secure the most talented young professionals early on. First they should bring success, then a lot of money. Borussia Dortmund has perfected this business model.
Dhe soccer Bundesliga lost some big players this summer, soccer players who will one day become the pillars of the national team. The wonderful Kai Havertz, who went to Chelsea from Leverkusen, for example. Timo Werner, who also moved from Leipzig to Chelsea, or Robin Koch and Luca Waldschmidt, who left SC Freiburg for England and Portugal.
At first glance, this is a reason to be sad, after all, the league lives off the art of its greatest masters. But in the offices of the branch offices there were probably also a few cheers. Because behind the club changes of Koch, Waldschmidt and Werner hides the recognition of a work that has become more and more the key to the success of many clubs in recent years: the commitment and refinement of players around 20 – including profitable resale.
