Not so long ago, Borussia Dortmund were the best team in Germany under the management of Jurgen Klopp.
Won the Bundesliga title on the trot and reached the Champions League final in 2013 as well.
However, the German club sold their star players every season and that hurt them big time.
Dortmund sold then Bundesliga player of the year Nuri Sahin to Real Madrid. Then sold star playmaker Shinji Kagawa to Manchester United. Although, the duo are back but in a much weakened team.
One of the best German playmakers Mario Gotze was then sold to rivals Bayern Munich and league’s best striker Lewandowski was also let go free to join Bayern last summer.
Fortunately they have been able to secure a long term deal for Marco Reus but it remains to be seen how long the Kaiser will stay as top European clubs are after him and Dortmund are currently in mid table.
One player who is more likely to leave next summer is versatile midfielder Ilkay Gundogan.
According to reports, Manchester United are closing in to complete Gundogan capture and Manchester United are very confident of bringing him to Old Trafford.
United need a complete midfielder to solve their crisis in that department and Ilkay is exactly the kind of player to fix it once and for all as he is capable of playing anywhere in midfield.
