BVB opens new talks with Gundogan

The influential midfielder was widely expected to
leave Signal Iduna Park this summer, but could
now decide to stay put after all
Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc
has hinted that the club are ready to re-open talks
with Ilkay Gundogan over a contract renewal.
The Germany international told BVB that he does
not want to renew his current deal this year -
which is due to expire in 12 months' time - and is
looking to leave the club this summer.
Gundogan has since been linked with clubs such
as Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Barcelona
and Paris Saint-Germain, but Dortmund have not
received any formal offers as of yet.
A number of reports therefore suggest Gundogan
is having second thoughts about his decision to
leave and could decide to stay put after all - and
potentially even sign a new deal.
"I am always in touch with Ilkay and his family,"
Zorc told Bild when asked about Gundogan's
situation.
"I can only say that they have always behaved
very well toward Dortmund."
The 24-year-old has made over 100 appearances
in all competitions for Dortmund since joining
them from Nurnberg in 2011.
