Gundogan recently stated that there is a chance he may remain at Dortmund next season.
“That I do not prolong my contract does not necessarily mean that I am gone in the summer.” Gündoğan is quoted as saying by kicker
“I won’t force a transfer come hell or high water, but rather would be ready to stay at the club for one more season if that’s the best alternative for both sides.”
The 24-year-old has four assists and three goals in 30 appearances for Dortmund this season.
Dortmund sit in 9th place in the League with 40 points from 31 games. The Bundesliga Giants no longer have a chance of participating in the UEFA Champions League next season.
