Borussia Dortmund have announced record revenue of €536 million for the 2017-18 season. The Bundesliga club also posted a net profit of €28.5m, but revenue without transfers dropped by 4.6 percent to €313m.
Coming out of a mediocre season which saw the club crash out early in the German Cup and Champions League, the transfers of Ousmane Dembele to Barcelona and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Arsenal accounted for around €200m.
Total transfers made up for 41 percent of Dortmund's revenue in the 2017-18 season as revenues for match operations, TV rights, merchandise and catering/conference all dropped.
Speaking at a news conference on Friday, CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said the club want to break the €500m revenue mark without transfers in the next seven years.
