when it comes to younger players though, I can't blame them for a second going there, I think it's a more attractive proposition. Not just Dortmund, but to the Bundesliga in general for some. Being a richer club desn't make much difference for 17, 18, 19 year olds coming from France, or Sweden or other German teams, Liverpool aren't going to be paying them top wages anyway, and neither should they. So it may well come down to what is better for their careers. And yep, Dortmund tick a lot of boxes there.
BILA is right, the irony is, much of the reason it is so attractive is partly because of what Juergen Klopp did for the club. You can bettcha life these kinds of talents wouldn't all have been rushing to sign for Dortmund of a decade ago.
But competing for established talents, yes, Liverpool have to be able to compete there, they can't be weak and slow in trying to get their targets this summer.
