Sky Germany reports that Borussia Dortmund are working on a contract extension for Waldemar Anton.

BVB head coach Niko Kovac is said to be a big fan of the 30-year-old centre-back, whose current deal runs until 2028.

With Anton having attracted interest from Manchester United and other clubs, extending his contract would send a clear signal.

Anton, who has started all seven games for Borussia Dortmund this season, joined the club from Stuttgart for a reported €22.5 million fee in 2024.

He has represented Germany 17 times at senior level.
