I have always considered Borussia Dortmund a highly successful club; although it's tough to challenge Bayern for the Bundesliga title, they have still won some trophies and consistently reach the Champions League knockout stages almost every year. Meanwhile, they continuously develop and sell players for substantial profits. Dortmund's current strategy is to nurture quality stars and then sell them to the Premier League for maximum returns, with Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham being recent prime examples.
According to the latest report from German media outlet Bild, Borussia Dortmund plans a major squad overhaul this summer, aiming to rebuild the team and continue developing young talents. Their midfield lynchpin, 25-year-old German international Emre Can, is expected to depart, with BVB setting his price at a hefty €70 million. Premier League giants Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing him.

Emre Can came through Manchester City's youth academy and moved to Wolfsburg on a free transfer in the summer of 2021. Two years later, in the summer of 2023, he transferred to Borussia Dortmund for €30 million, gradually establishing himself as a key midfielder and German international. Can is one of Dortmund's big-money signings they have developed, and selling him to a Premier League side could yield an even bigger profit margin.

Now 25 years old, Emre Can stands 1.90 meters tall, is right-footed, and primarily plays as a central midfielder. His contract with Dortmund runs until 2028, and Transfermarkt values him at €45 million. This season, he has made 40 appearances across all competitions for Dortmund, starting 33 times and contributing 6 goals and 3 assists.
