After Dan-Axel Zagadou played a minor role in Borussia Dortmund at the beginning of the 2019/20 season, the 21-year-old Frenchman became an absolute performer over the course of the season and only had to fit if the body made a stroke through his bill. The BVB now seems to want to reward the strong development. One could “well imagine” an early extension with the defender, BVB sports director Michael Zorc confirmed in conversation with the “kicker”. “Really effective discussions”, however, had not yet taken place. The current working paper Zagadous will end in summer 2022.
