The brief preparation for the first official match of the new year on Friday at Eintracht Frankfurt is in full swing at Borussia Dortmund. While coach Niko Kovac is working with his protégés to achieve optimal form for the match in Frankfurt and the immediately following English week, BVB is continuing its efforts behind the scenes to finalize the planned contract extensions with Emre Can and Julian Brandt as soon as possible.
According to kicker, further talks with Can and Brandt are scheduled for the next few days, during which an agreement for continued cooperation could be reached. It is conceivable that all parties will speak with each other during the training camp in Marbella, as there would be significantly less time available afterwards due to the tight schedule.
There is much to suggest that BVB will soon be able to finalize agreements with both Can, who has already commented accordingly, and Brandt. According to kicker, the new contracts will feature terms adjusted to their sporting roles and age, meaning that the two veterans will likely have to accept certain reductions compared to their previous salaries.
Basically, however, the Dortmund management is prepared to continue paying Can and Brandt at a good level. Not least because it would presumably be much more expensive to sign external replacements of equal quality.
