When Can suffered a cruciate ligament tear in Dortmund’s loss against Bayern Munich, much was made about how the future would look for the 32-year-old, given that his contract was due to expire this summer, but that doubt has now been put to rest.
Ahead of Dortmund’s 3-2 win over Hamburg on Saturday, it was confirmed that Can and BVB had agreed on an extension to the captain’s contract that will see him enter his eighth year with the club in the summer.
“I’m delighted to remain part of Borussia Dortmund," said Can. "BVB is a special club, and I’d like to express my sincere thanks for the support. My aim is to recover as quickly as possible, get back on the pitch with my teammates and enjoy success with the club.”
