Borussia Dortmund officially announced the extension of their captain Emre Can's contract for an additional year, keeping him with the team until the summer of 2027. This move reflects the management's great confidence in the player and his leadership role within the team.

The decision to extend the contract came despite the player suffering a serious injury with a torn cruciate ligament that ended his current season. However, the German club preferred to support him and stand by him during this phase, affirming their commitment to his experience and influence in the locker room.

Can is considered one of the key pillars at Dortmund since joining in 2020, having played hundreds of matches in the team's jersey and recently taking on the captain's armband. This has made him one of the standout experienced players in the squad, especially as the club aims to balance youth and experience.

This step indicates Dortmund's desire to maintain technical stability, as the management believes that keeping Can during the recovery period represents significant moral and technical value, with anticipation for his return next season to resume his role on the field.
