Borussia Dortmund plans to open negotiations with defender Waldemar Anton in the coming weeks to extend his current contract, which runs until the summer of 2028, along with a significant salary increase.


According to FunkeSport, Dortmund's management is keen to secure the German defender's future early, believing in his importance within the team's sporting project for the coming years.


Despite Anton feeling comfortable and settled at Dortmund, his impressive performances recently have attracted interest from several major European clubs, notably Atletico Madrid and Manchester United.


Upcoming developments regarding the player's future are expected, as Dortmund hopes to finalize the renewal quickly to avoid any potential attempts to sign him from interested clubs.
