18-year-old Elias Benkara has decided to extend his contract with Borussia Dortmund beyond the summer, according to Bild.
Benkara has reportedly held talks with Eintracht Frankfurt, while Feyenoord and RSC Anderlecht have also been linked with a move for the young defender.
However, it now appears he has now opted to stay at BVB, with a contract until 2029 expected to be signed soon.
The report claims the young centre-back believes he can break into the first team.
Benkara has already been included in the squad several times for Dortmund, but is still waiting for his senior debut.
