However, there'll be a void to fill for the start of the new season, and it appears the club have their eye on a number of targets including Thorgan Hazard.
The 25-year-old's contract at Borussia Mönchengladbach expires in 2020 with Dortmund monitoring his situation ahead of tabling an official bid.
Hazard, who was on Chelsea's books, enjoyed spells away from Stamford Bridge on loan, though he eventually made his switch to Gladbach permanent after a prolific spell.

And he's tearing it up this term, weighing in with goals and assists.
He's bagged nine Bundesliga goals not to mention creating six goals.
Thanks to his efforts, Gladback are third in the league behind Bayern Munich and league leaders Dortmund.
Meanwhile, Thorgan's brother, Eden, is also having a scintillating season. Just like his younger bro, he's got goals and assists.

But, talks about a potential mega-transfer to Real Madrid have once again surfaced following the signing of Pulisic.
