A number of contracts at Borussia Mönchengladbach will expire next summer – not all players are certain that they will stay. Christoph Kramer and Lars Stindl are a pleasant exception.
Marcus Thuram, Ramy Bensebaini, Yann Sommer – Roland Virkus currently has his hands full and is fighting for contract extensions with his stars. So it’s good for a change that two other top performers in the squad should be relatively easy to keep.
As reported by Sport Bild, Lars Stindl and Christoph Kramer are to be given new working papers. “We would like to keep him,” confirmed Virkus about Kramer and revealed that concrete talks have already taken place with the 31-year-old: “We recently had an intensive exchange with him and also told him specifically.” After a not so easy one phase under Adi Hütter, the veteran has found his way back into the starting XI under Daniel Farke and even made it into Hansi Flick’s extended World Cup squad.
Participation in the World Cup is no longer an issue for Stindl, but he is still one of Borussia’s most important players. Therefore, holding the Capitano is a no-brainer for Virkus. “One thing is certain for us: We would like to continue with him and extend the contract,” said the sporting director about the 34-year-old. The “life planning” of the audience’s favorite should also be taken into account in the discussions.
