Expiring BVB contracts: These four stars face the axe | OneFootball

Six BVB players face expiring contracts this summer. Four stars could likely leave the club by summer at the latest.

At BVB, the contracts of six professionals will expire next summer. While some players still have a chance for an extension, four stars are likely to depart – according to the current assessment by BILD.

Emre Can: The captain has been struggling with persistent adductor problems for months. Whether the 31-year-old will become fully fit again will determine his future in Dortmund. Due to his high regard within the team and with coach Niko Kovac, a one-year extension with reduced pay might be possible. BILD estimates the likelihood of him staying at 25 percent.

Niklas Süle: After recovering from an injury, Dortmund's defender is ready to play again. His first game showed that the 30-year-old is still a force to be reckoned with. However, his current annual salary of 14 million euros will not be paid beyond the current season, and a possible contract extension would be heavily performance-based. According to BILD, the chance of an extension is 30 percent.

Will Julian Brandt extend his contract at BVB after all?

Pascal Groß: Under coach Kovac, Groß plays a minimal role and is rarely used. The 34-year-old midfielder himself emphasized: "It always has to make sense for both sides" and added: "I want to help, make an impact. If I no longer play a role, I'd rather have no contract and go somewhere else where I can help, or stop!" BILD assumes that Groß has only a 5 percent chance of staying at BVB.

Julian Brandt: Brandt is currently mostly a substitute but can still make an impact when brought on. If he manages to regain his top form, his future will be considered intensely. The 29-year-old himself says: He would like to stay in Dortmund and feels very comfortable there. BILD rates his chance of staying at 60 percent.

Salih Özcan: The 27-year-old might face a departure as early as winter after a summer sale failed. BILD completely rules out his staying with a 0 percent chance.

Backup goalkeeper Alexander Meyer also remains a topic at BVB. As a reliable deputy for Gregor Kobel, the 34-year-old is held in high regard in the locker room and by the club's management. According to BILD, his current chance of staying is 50 percent, as Diant Ramaj is already a potential successor.
