UEFA Gossip: BVB Holding Fire on Four Heavyweights' Contracts
BVB Makes Decisions on Contract Renewals for Four Prominent Players - BVB Resists Decisions on Contract Extensions at Four-Star Level
Got some dirt from the Bundesliga? Yep, here it is: Borussia Dortmund ain't playing games with four of their top guns—Julian Brandt, Emre Can, Pascal Groß, and Niklas Süle. According to the word on the street from Bild, the boys' contracts, expiring in 2026, ain't getting an early renewal this summer.
Instead, the lads' on-field performances next season are going to decide whether they receive a new deal or get the stiff-arm. Brandt, in particular, might jump ship if a decent proposal comes his way. This dude's been struggling to demonstrate his potential this season, and if someone snaps him up, why not?
Can and Süle, ageing like fine wine, but not in a good way, have been criticized left, right, and center. As for Groß, he'll be six feet under the retirement home when his contract expires.
The Breakdown:
- Julian Brandt: Struggling to shine consistently this season, but with a knack for showing off his worth, Brandt's contract expires in 2026. BVB ain't in a hurry to extend it, but if a suitable offer comes along, he's on his way out. Sporting Director Sebastian Kehl hinted that Brandt might stick around for the next season, though, provided he steps up his game.
- Emre Can: Just like Brandt, Can's contract expires in 2026, and there's no rush to renew. His stay or departure is a mystery, with the team opting to let several players' contracts run out.
- Pascal Groß: With his contract set to expire in 2026, Dortmund has chosen not to renew. The future's murky, but it seems unlikely he'll escape the contract without seeing it through, unless something drastic happens.
- Niklas Süle: The highest earner at Dortmund, Süle's contract expires in 2026. Plagued by injuries and fitness issues, his performance and potential contract extension are up in the air. BVB's management is hesitant to offer a new deal but might consider a lower salary extension if Süle's form improves.
