No more BVB signings - Watzke

The Bundesliga side's CEO says they have made all the additions they need for the season ahead, admitting that they have a few too many players in the squad

Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has made it clear the Bundesliga side have no plans to further add to their squad this transfer window, saying they already have too many players.

Dortmund have lost Mats Hummels, Ilkay Gundogan and Henrikh Mkhitaryan this summer but have been busy in their recruitment to replace those departures.

Marc Bartra, Sebastian Rode, Mario Gotze, Andre Schurrle, Ousmane Dembele, Emre Mor, Mikel Merino and Raphael Guerreiro have all arrived at Signal Iduna Park, but that will conclude Dortmund's business for now.

"As things stand, there will be no more new arrivals before the end of the transfer window," Watzke toldBild am Sonntag.
"If anything, we already have too many players at the moment."

Although their outlay has been significant, Watzke is adamant Dortmund will not do anything to endanger their financial situation.

"We will not be bringing in any key players who just won the Champions League with Real Madrid," he added.

"We cannot afford to do anything more than not getting into debts and make sure we are financially stable."
