Borussia Dortmund are handling Waldemar Anton's contract situation while Luca Reggiani's future is under scrutiny, amid concerns over young players' opportunities to play.
Anton extension talks
Dortmund and Anton appear confident that they can agree a contract extension. Anton's contract runs until 2028, and he has played every minute of every Bundesliga and Champions League match so far this season.
Concrete offer from Dortmund
Dortmund have made Anton a concrete contract offer, according to Sky Sport. Talks between Dortmund and Anton are set to progress during the international break. Dortmund and Anton are said to be positive about further negotiations and hope to reach a mutually agreeable solution soon, according to Sky Sport.
Youth players seek opportunities
Some Dortmund youth players are frustrated by their limited opportunities to play, according to Sky Sport. Mathis Albert and Samuele Inacio are not questioning their futures yet, but both want more playing time and chances to prove themselves on the pitch.
Albert, 17, played the full 90 minutes for the senior team in the first cup round and has made one substitute appearance in the Bundesliga. Inacio was sent off against HSV on matchday one and has made four appearances under Niko Kovac so far.
Reggiani wants another club
Reggiani's agent has told Dortmund officials that the player wants to move to another club, according to Sky Sport. Reggiani, 18, signed a professional contract until 2029 in March, but has played only 50 minutes across two competitive matches under Kovac this season and mostly plays for the under-23s.
