A Shift in Fortunes: BVB's Contract Deliberations for Four Pivotal Players
BVB Faces Impasse in Contract Negotiations with Four High-Profile Players - BVB Denies Approval of Contract Decisions at Four-Star Level
Borussia Dortmund finds itself making some crucial decisions about four of its valuable assets. As per reports from "Bild", the contracts of midfield maestro Julian Brandt, skipper Emre Can, national teamer Pascal Groß, and stalwart Niklas Süle, all with contracts lasting until 2026, won't be renewed prematurely this season.
This summer, the upcoming season's accomplishments will be the deciding factor in offering these players new deals. In the case of Julian Brandt, a lucrative offer this summer could prompt him to depart from the Ruhr club, given his inconsistent displays this season.
Meanwhile, Emre Can, 31, and Niklas Süle have been subject to persistent criticisms. As for Pascal Groß, he turns 35 when his contract concludes.

Insights:
Julian Brandt, a 29-year-old playmaker, is Dortmund's most likely candidate for a transfer if a suitable offer materializes this summer [2][4]. Supposedly, squad chief Sebastian Kehl has hinted at Brandt staying put for the upcoming season [3].
Versatile midfielder Emre Can, like Brandt, has also been deemed surplus to requirements by Dortmund [2][4], marking a tactical change towards performance-based player management.
Similarly, midfielder Pascal Groß and defensive titan Niklas Süle will both see their contracts expire in 2026. Both players, like Can and Brandt, won't be receiving contract extensions from Dortmund in light of similar strategic decisions concerning team composition [2][4]. Remarkably, despite Süle's recent improvements under coach Niko Kovac, his unpredictable performances due to repeated injuries have led Dortmund to decline an extension unless his form stabilizes [2][4].
These four players' fates seem uncertain, with the possibility of their contracts being honored only if they are sold beforehand or their performances prompt a change in Dortmund's stance on their futures [2][4].
