Things are going well at Emre Can at the moment. Not only that he can look back on what must have been his best footballing season in a Borussia Dortmund jersey and that he has the opportunity to extend his contract with BVB. The German national player also experienced his biggest victory privately, after all, he married luxuriously in Istanbul last weekend. Could the Turkish metropolis also become his new sporting home?
Recently there has been a heated discussion about the rumors that Emre Can could be on the shopping list at Galatasaray Istanbul. Despite BVB’s advances to extend the working paper with the 29-year-old on different terms, the Turkish champions are said to have made representations to Can.
Now there seems to be a clear trend. As the “Bild” reported on Wednesday, there is not much in the Turkey rumor. According to the newspaper, the defensive all-rounder should clearly continue to see his sporting future in Germany and at BVB. There should not have been any serious considerations on the part of the player to change towards Galatasaray.
Instead, a new BVB contract seems only a matter of time. As the media report goes on to say, Can consultant Reza Fazelli and Dortmund’s sports director Sebastian Kehl have long since met for initial talks.
An agreement could therefore be reached before the start of the new Bundesliga season in August.
Will Emre Can inherit long-time BVB captain Marco Reus?
The 41-time national player should be ready for a fundamentally lower annual salary than at present, which could then also be adjusted in a more performance-related manner.
Can is therefore still convinced of his personal perspective with the Westphalians. After the strong second half of 2022/2023, not only a regular place under head coach Edin Terzic beckons, but possibly even the captaincy.
In addition, the BVB leader, who was born in Frankfurt, has made it his goal to become German champion with Borussia Dortmund.
It is not yet known whether the new contract will be signed for a period of two or even three years.
