Borussia Dortmund presented its annual figures for the 2025/26 season on Friday, reporting a significant loss of 21.7 million euros. These figures are not immediately a reason for panic for the club, especially given the recent investments in the selection, including the transfer of Joey Veerman from PSV for 22 million euros.
According to Carsten Cramer, the chairman of the board, the loss is not due to the performance in the Bundesliga, but rather to the disappointing results in the cup tournaments. "We were not able to live up to expectations in the Champions League and the DFB-Pokal," said Cramer. Dortmund was eliminated in the Champions League in the first round after the group stage by Atalanta Bergamo, and in the DFB-Pokal they lost to Bayer Leverkusen in the eighth finals.
Cramer explains that the red figures are easy to explain in retrospect, but that it is important to learn the right lessons from this situation. In addition to the sporting results, the club also had to deal with financial setbacks, such as severance payments after the departure of sporting director Sebastian Kehl, who took office in 2022 and left his position last season.
Despite the loss, Borussia Dortmund has not been idle in the transfer market this summer. In addition to Veerman, the club has also invested in Greek players Konstantinos Karetsas and Giannis Konstantelias, which together cost 56 million euros. Cramer emphasizes that these investments are separate from the loss of last season. "The foundation of our house is very solid, but there was also room for an extension. We also cleaned one or two rooms," referring to the departure of Niklas Süle, who retired, and Julian Brandt, who left for Ajax on a free transfer.Both put pressure on the club's budget with their high salaries.
With these new acquisitions, Dortmund hopes to be at the top again in the coming seasons, both in the national competition and in Europe. Confidence in the future remains intact, despite the financial headwinds of last season. The club faces a challenging period in which performance on the field will be crucial for the recovery of its financial situation.
What's happening now
With the summer transfer window in full swing, it is expected that Borussia Dortmund will invest further in their squad to compete in the Bundesliga and Europe. Joey Veerman is seen as a crucial addition to the midfield, which can contribute to the development of the team. The club will also have to learn from their recent disappointments in the cup competitions to perform better in the future.
