Change on the cards at Dortmund? How BVB are planning with their stars | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund faces important personnel decisions. Several stars are fighting for their future, while a minor shake-up is becoming increasingly likely.

Far-reaching personnel decisions are pending at Borussia Dortmund. Several key players have expiring contracts, while others are demanding new terms. Behind the scenes, those responsible, led by sporting director Sebastian Kehl, are already working on setting the course for the coming season – and a major shake-up appears to be on the horizon.

Julian Brandt and captain Emre Can continue to enjoy great trust at BVB. According to Sport Bild, both are expected to extend their expiring contracts beyond the summer. For Brandt, whose current contract ends next year, the club is planning an extension by one year until 2027. If the 29-year-old accepts a pay cut, a term until 2028 is also conceivable.

Can, whose contract contains an appearance clause for an automatic extension until 2027, is also likely to be retained despite missing games due to an adductor injury. BVB wants to extend with the 31-year-old in order to maintain the team’s hierarchy during the upcoming shake-up.

The situation is more complicated with Karim Adeyemi. The attacking player is under contract until 2027 but only wants to extend if a release clause is included.

The outlook for Niklas Süle and Salih Özcan is much bleaker. Both contracts, like those of Brandt and Can, expire in the summer. Süle, who is among the top earners with an annual salary of around 14 million euros, apparently faces the exit internally. Özcan, who has recently seen little playing time, also appears set for a departure.

Another return of Jadon Sancho is not an issue. The winger, currently on loan from Manchester United to Aston Villa, remains financially out of reach for BVB according to Sport Bild. Young players like Cole Campbell, on the other hand, could leave the club as early as this winter – either on loan or permanently.

Borussia Dortmund faces a decisive summer. While the leaders Brandt and Can are to be retained, Süle and Özcan could leave the club. The negotiations with Adeyemi are likely to become a key factor in personnel planning. One thing is clear: BVB is planning a shake-up – but with a sense of proportion.
