Staying at VfB: Will this player take a pay cut by choice? | OneFootball

Dan-Axel Zagadou was sidelined for a longer period due to injury. Before the international break, he collected his first minutes of play and even assisted Maximilian Mittelstädt's opening goal in the 3-2 victory against Augsburg.

Step by step, he is fighting his way back. Good performances will be crucial in the coming weeks, as his contract expires at the end of the season. Contract negotiations with the Swabians are therefore on the horizon.

For a new contract, the 26-year-old central defender would likely have to make some concessions. 'Kicker' suggests a model where he would extend his contract only with heavily appearance- and performance-based terms.

Currently, Zagadou is apparently among the higher earners in the squad. We'll see if he is willing to make concessions.
