BVB officially release Schulz
Borussia Dortmund officially confirmed the termination of fullback Nico Schulz's contract on Thursday afternoon.
Borussia Dortmund have at long last finalized their separation with transfer flop Nico Schulz. The Westphalians officially confirmed that Schulz - who continued to draw a €6 million annual salary despite no longer featuring for the team - will receive a severance payment of €2.5 million as part of the dissolution of his contract. This figure is reported both by Germany's "Sport Bild" tabloid as well as NRW's "Ruhr Nachrichten" newspaper.
Schulz had both on-and-off-the pitch problems to contend with in the past year. It remains uncertain as to whether the former German national team defender, whom once cost the BVB €25 million, has any sporting future at all. Schulz made his last professional appearance for Dortmund at the tail end of the 2021/22 campaign.
