Borussia Dortmund have confirmed the departure of Leonardo Balerdi.

The Argentine centre-back has signed a permanent deal with Olympique Marseille, who he spent last season on loan with.

"We thank Leo for his commitment and wish him all the very best for the future," commented BVB sporting director Michael Zorc.

Balerdi made just eight appearances for Dortmund following his €15.5 million switch from Boca Juniors in January 2019.
