Soon, Shanghai Chongming Club negotiated with Germany's Dortmund Club on Yan Min's transfer. Dortmund did not offer at the beginning, so now both sides have a unified opinion on Yan Min's value.

Only when the money problem is solved can other issues be discussed.

Chinese media and fans are also paying attention to the transfer, but the two clubs have done a very good job of keeping confidentiality, so no information was revealed to the public through the media.

Fans can only wait for a final result.

Dortmund is not just considering introducing Yan Min this summer. It should be said that Yan Min was an unexpected gain. Originally, he was not in the signing plan of Klopp and Zorke.

After leaving Gotze and Lewandowski, Dortmund must sign in the midfield and forward positions to fill the gap left by the two.

So even if he didn't meet Yan Min, Dortmund had already launched a signing action in the transfer market.

In the midfield, they took a fancy to Mkhitaryan, the young midfielder of the Donetsk Miners, and started a battle for understanding with Liverpool. This summer, Liverpool also lost their offensive core, and Suarez was in urgent need of strengthening.

At the same time, Dortmund was negotiating with the Ligue 1 team Saint-Etienne Club, intending to introduce their team's top scorer, Aubameyang, the silver boot winner of the French Ligue 1 last season.

Klopp does not intend to make big signings in the summer. He believes that quantity is not as important as quality. Dortmund's main players only lost Lewandowski and Gotze, so there is no need to buy a large number of new players. The team's current structure is stable, and only needs to add personnel in certain positions.

Dortmund, who has been used to the hardship of squandering and hardship, seems to have been stimulated by Bayern Munich's continuous poaching actions, and decided to adjust his business strategy and be extravagant this summer.

In order to sign up, they prepared far more funds than the previous season. Moreover, the transfer and departure of Gotze and Lewandowski also brought a lot of transfer funds to Dortmund. Among them, Gotze left for 38 million euros. Although Lewandowski didn't have that much, he also had 25 million euros. Lewandowski's agent revealed to Bayern Munich the specific content of their oral agreement with Dortmund club, so Bayern Munich knew that as long as the quotation reached 25 million euros, Dortmund would have to let him go, so they offered this price and were unwilling to pay more. It was not that Bayern Munich was stingy, but to disgust Dortmund club...

Lewandowski and Gotze's departure brought Dortmund 63 million euros in revenue, which did not include the Champions League prize money last season, but also a considerable income.

In total, Dortmund does have capital to be willful in the transfer market this summer.

So in the end they took Armenian star Mkhitaryan from Donetsk Miners for 25 million euros and defeated their competitor Liverpool.

In Aubameyang's transfer, Dortmund spent 13 million euros to handle it.

The league where Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang are still in a worse place than the Bundesliga, especially when Mkhitaryan is in the Ukrainian league. He is able to join the Bundesliga giants and Dortmund, who just won the Champions League championship, is very attractive to them.

As long as the player is willing, the player's club will not be able to make any big waves.

In addition, in the central defender position, since Brazilian central defender Santana transferred to Schalke 04 for one million euros, Dortmund also wanted to buy someone who could act as a substitute or rotate. So they spent 9.5 million euros to buy Greek central defender Papastasopoulos from Werder Bremen.

Look at the transfer fee figures, putting aside the 17 million transfer fee from Borussia Mönchengladbach to buy out Reus' transfer fee, these three transfer fees have now set Dortmund's previous transfer fee record. Even if it is a rotational substitute central defender, Dortmund is willing to give out nearly 10 million euros, which was completely unimaginable in the past.

The Dortmund club may finally realize that if they continue to operate in small quantities, it will be difficult for them to withstand the impact from Bayern Munich.

In fact, this summer, Dortmund club has two things to be busy with. One is transfer signing, and the other is to re-sign contracts with current players to increase their salary. Of course, this is not something that Dortmund club is willing to do, but under the threat of Bayern Munich, they have to use the new contract to re-bind the players. At the same time, the players also have to ask for a salary increase. After all, they have won the league championship and the Champions League championship with the team. They have made great efforts and are the heroes. They all hope that they can be worthy of their efforts in their income.

The so-called professional players, of course, play football as their profession. Since they are professions, of course they have to talk about money, and money still occupies a very important position.

This is not a matter of one person or two people asking for a salary increase, so for Dortmund, this is a huge expense.

Before the new season begins, media reports on the salary budgets of Bundesliga clubs in the new season.

The total salary budget of the 18 Bundesliga teams reached 747.6 million euros, a figure that sets a historical record. The total salary budget of the 18 teams last season was 78.6 million euros, and the new season rose by nearly 40 million euros.

Although wage investment has increased, the revenue of the Bundesliga has also increased. The total marketing revenue of the league in the new season is about 2.1 billion euros. In addition, some other revenues have to be added, and the total revenue will definitely exceed this number.

Wage expenditure accounts for one-third of total income, which is a very ideal proportion.

Among the eighteen Bundesliga teams, Bayern Munich has the highest salary budget, at 140 million euros, and the per capita salary reached 5.6 million euros.

Dortmund, who won the league and Champions League championship last season, has the largest increase in salary expenditure in the new season. Their increase has reached 40%, and the salary expenditure budget for the new season is 68 million euros!

This figure has exceeded Dortmund's salary expenditure before the fiscal crisis. At that time, the annual expenditure of 52 million euros was overwhelmed by the Dortmund club. It was later cut to 35 million euros and reduced to 28 million euros.

After knowing this, let’s take a look at Dortmund’s salary budget in the new season. You will know how hard Dortmund has worked this time to ensure the team’s combat effectiveness. They have really given up the operational ideas and methods that they have been used to for many years.

The loss of two main players in one summer has really hit Dortmund's club. Moreover, these two main players were poached by the same team, which is Dortmund's biggest competitor in the Bundesliga... These reasons ultimately caused Dortmund to explode.

Fortunately, Dortmund is not short of money now, otherwise it may be far more than a few people going this summer.

Indeed, this summer, Dortmund did not only leave Gotze and Lewandowski, but some players also left, but none of them were Dortmund's main players. For example, forward Bittencott transferred to Hanover for 3 million euros 96, Santana went to Schalke for 1 million, Moritz Leitner was loaned to Stuttgart, and Ovo Moyera left the club because of the expiration of the contract.

Except for Gotze and Lewandowski, the departure of others actually had little impact on Dortmund.

In the entire Bundesliga, Dortmund, who has finally made a fortune, is not the second highest-salary budget team. Although they are already generous, if you think about it carefully, their salary budget is actually not half that of Bayern Munich. The gap between the two sides is very obvious. In the face of such a huge gap, it is really not easy for Dortmund to suppress Bayern Munich for three consecutive seasons...

In this new season's salary budget table, the second-ranked club is Dortmund's derby rival Schalke 04. The "Miners"'s salary budget for the new season is 80 million euros. In fact, Schalke 04 has been very huge in recent years, but its results are not ideal. Perhaps they should learn about the derby rival. Although football cannot be separated from money investment, if you only rely on burning money... it may not be a good thing.

Dortmund's salary budget ranks third in the Bundesliga, with Wolfsburg being the fourth, with 50 million euros. Leverkusen ranked fifth with 48 million euros. Hamburg and Stuttgart both tied for sixth with 40 million euros. The top three in the salary expenditure list are promoted Brunswick, who are 15 million, the least among the 18 Bundesliga teams. Freiburg and Augsburg are both 17 million euros, tied for the second to last.

※※※

Dortmund, who had just returned to Germany, had revised it less than a week and had their first game of the new season - the German Super Cup. As the league champion, their opponent is the German Cup champion Bayern Munich.

Originally, Gotze and Lewandowski faced their old club for the first time after transferring to Bayern Munich.

But Gotze was injured and was sure to miss the game.
