Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has encouraged clubs chasing star duo Erling Haaland and Jadon Sancho.

The BVB chief has refused to rule out big-name departures from the club this summer, in light of the financial impact of the coronavirus.

Watzke said: “In the midst of a pandemic, I am now ruling nothing out.

“But it is not necessarily the aim. The most important thing is the financial balance: that we have a strong team on the field and at the same time are economically stable.

“If we play the whole of next season without spectators, we must certainly think about giving up a player.

“Asking banks for credit lines just to not sell a player is not going to be our way.

“We are still unable to make a forecast for the year as a whole. As long as the situation persists, we will not be in the black. Our liabilities are currently at €26.7m [£23.15m].

“This shows that BVB has great economic strength and is very stable.”
