Borussia Dortmund is in a real dilemma after qualifying for the Champions League final, as it is choosing between joining the European greats and winning the tournament title at the expense of its rival Real Madrid, or accepting a defeat that will bring it greater financial returns than obtaining the title.
The German newspaper “Ruhr Nachrichten” said: “Dortmund is on a date with a financial prize of 20 million euros if it wins the final match, but the financial return will be greater, amounting to 25 million euros if it loses, due to the returns that can be gained from a special clause in the transfer deal for its star.” Former Englishman Jude Bellingham joined Real Madrid last summer.
She added: “The Bellingham deal included about 32 million euros in add-ons and bonuses, of which 25 million would return to his former club Dortmund if the (Royal) team won the Champions League, especially since the player’s transfer deal totaled 108 million euros.”
