Borussia Dortmund are ‘against the FLASH LIFE of their star players’ if the recession continues and they don’t qualify for Europe … with Jadon Sancho, Gio Reyna and Raphael Guerreiro on the market – but no they still want to let Erling Haaland go
- Borussia Dortmund are currently seventh in the Bundesliga after a weak run
- Edin Terzic’s side have not won in three league games and lost last Friday
- If they don’t qualify for Europe, they could be forced to sell star players
- Jadon Sancho, Gio Reyna and Raphael Guerreiro could all be sold for large sums
- But the German club are determined to keep striker Erling Haaland anyway
Borussia Dortmund are opposed to a possible flash sale of star players in the summer if the German club fails to qualify for the Champions League or worse European football altogether, according to reports.
Edin Terzic’s side are currently on a bad run of form and are seventh in the Bundesliga without winning in their last three league games, the last of which is a 4-2 loss at Borussia Monchengladbach Friday.
Dortmund are in danger of losing wind money if they do not qualify for Europe and amid a pandemic they would have to raise money by selling players such as Jadon Sancho, Gio Reyna and Raphael Guerreiro according to Bild, but the club does not host the idea of selling Erling Haaland.
Dortmund could go against flash sales and Jadon Sancho (R) could leave but Erling Haaland will not leave
Midfielder Gio Reyna (L) and back Raphael Guerreiro (R) could be released this summer
The report states that Dortmund could lose at least £ 26.6m (€ 30m) if they do not qualify for the Champions League – they are currently three points off the top four.
It is clear to Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke that the club cannot go into huge debts, in which case the lack of money that came in would have to be compensated by the sale of star assets.
England international Sancho, who moved to Germany from Manchester City in 2017 for under £ 8m, tops that list.

Sancho and Haaland have formed a deadly partnership in the past year but that could end soon
With a market value of £ 88.5m (€ 100m), Dortmund would want to sell a figure in that ball park and it is unclear at this stage whether United would be willing to leverage that kind of money.
Elsewhere, Dortmund could be relegated with an 18-year-old midfielder attacking Reyna midfielder and leaving Guerreiro back if not even League football Europa achieved – which would result in a loss of £ 3.1m (€ 3.5m) per home game alone.
However, the report adds that the club ‘s sporting director, Michael Zorc, is not getting the idea out of selling the Haaland star striker – at all costs – with the The 20-year-old is a key part of Dortmund’s long-term vision for slumping in prime Bayern Munich.
Haaland, who signed for £ 17.7m (€ 20m) in January last year from RB Salzburg, has achieved 37 impressive goals in as many appearances for Dortmund in all competitions.
Norway hit twice through the loss at Gladbach on Friday, with Dortmund slipping 13 points behind Bayern leaders.
As they look back at winning methods, Dortmund host Augsburg midfielder in their next game on Saturday.
