It’s a quiet farewell: Dan-Axel Zagadou’s time at BVB will come to an end in the summer. After a number of injuries, the defender will leave Dortmund.

No contract extension: Dan-Axel Zagadou (22) will leave Borussia Dortmund in the summer after five years. His expiring contract will not be extended, as the new sports director Sebastian Kehl announced in the “Ruhr Nachrichten”: “We had another very open conversation with each other and came to the decision not to extend his contract.”

Complaints again and again: Zagadou’s susceptibility to injury is likely to be the decisive factor. He only played 66 of 169 possible Bundesliga games, and his knee and thigh muscles in particular gave him trouble again and again.

New competitive situation: BVB’s decision against Zagadou is made easier by the commitments of Niklas Süle (26) and Nico Schlotterbeck (22). This creates a competitive situation that gives even a fit Zagadou little chance of many missions.
