September 3rd News Dortmund completed a three-match in the final stage of the transfer window, signing three players, Fabio Silva, Chukuuemica and Anselmino. Dortmund's director Sebastian Kyle was interviewed by Bistro Bistro after the window was closed and talked about the team's operations.

Kyle said: "In general, it's a very nervous summer with a lot of calls and meetings. Each lineup operation has its own characteristics, especially because of what we do abroad. Transfers within the Bundesliga are basically simpler, and we deal with clubs that are not necessarily short of money this time, which greatly changes the negotiation status."

"I have to say that the English often feel painless in spending money. They sometimes deliberately drag to the final stage of the transfer window because they know that with their financial strength, they can look forward to the possible domino effect. This adds difficulty to other clubs, so it's necessary to work for a transfer for a long time and carefully plan the negotiations."

"Cukuemica and Fabio Silva's most They found their club and made it clear that they wanted to transfer to Dortmund. In the end, we got the two players at a price that was completely inconsistent with the market trend. Fabio Silva is a very good striker with a bright future. And he won't even be among the top 100 most expensive transfers in the world this summer. Chukuemica will be even further down, which shows how much money is moving in the transfer market this summer. "

Waltermad transferred from Stuttgart to Newcastle this summer for a price of up to 90 million euros. Kyle commented: "This amount, if true, is in line with this crazy development trend."

As Dortmund has not taken action in the transfer market for a long time, the impatient sentiment and fans' criticism have grown stronger during this period. Kyle expressed his incomprehension, pointing out that Dortmund had completed three transfers before the Club World Cup, Daniel Svensson and Young Cootto.

When asked about the possibility that Dortmund might not necessarily need forward Silva because the team already has Gilasi, Kyle retorted: "What if Gilasi is absent for a long time? We are likely to have 50 games this season, plus national team games. Given our goals and expectations, it is impossible for us to bring only one forward to play. What's more, even if Gilasi is healthy, he sometimes needs to take a rest."

Next summer, the contracts of Brandt, Emre Jan and Jule will all expire, but Kyle is unwilling to disclose too much whether they will renew their contracts: "It's very basic, just because renewal does not mean that contracts must be renewed at the same level. Each of our players has the opportunity to win a new contract through performance."
