Dortmund: German football club Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday extended midfielder Nuri Sahin’s contract, keeping the Turkey international until June 30, 2019. “We’re all delighted Nuri’s staying with us. He grew up in the region, he’s a really good guy and Borussia Dortmund is deeply ingrained in him,” Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said in a statement.
The 28-year-old, who has had dual German and Turkish nationality since 2011, joined the Borussia Dortmund youth academy in the summer of 2001. Aged 16 years and 355 days he became the youngest player to ever play in the Bundesliga, and is the top-flight’s youngest-ever goalscorer too.
