Dortmund (dpa) - Borussia Dortmund is not planning any major transfers in the winter changeover period that begins on January 2.
“We are in the middle of the corona pandemic with the resulting loss of income over a long period of time.
The upcoming transfer winter as such will hardly take place with us against this background, ”said BVB managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke on Wednesday the newspapers of the Funke media group.
After a mixed season so far, Dortmund are only fifth into the new year in the Bundesliga.
With 22 points from 13 games, the team had "four points too little for a two-point average, which should be our claim," said Watzke.
On the other hand, BVB is on target with the move into the round of 16 of the DFB Cup and the Champions League.
The 61-year-old expects an upswing in the league from the new coach Edin Terzic, who replaced Lucien Favre.
«Unfortunately we lost our form in the past few weeks.
We have to work to get some players in better shape, ”said the BVB boss.
The fluctuations in performance could not be justified by the team's lack of will, assured Watzke.
Most recently, the team was accused of a mentality problem several times and the lack of resilient leadership players was criticized.
