Overview
- Dynamo Dresden announced on Sunday, June 21 that 26-year-old Jakob Lemmer has signed a contract extension, but the club did not disclose the new deal's length.
- Lemmer said he delayed signing for sporting reasons and wanted to be sure he would continue playing at the 2. Bundesliga level before committing to a new contract.
- Reports and club sources say negotiations dragged on for months and earlier talks collapsed over disagreement about the size of an exit clause.
- Last season Lemmer made 32 second-division appearances, scoring six goals and providing two assists while alternating between starts and substitute appearances.
- Dynamo’s sporting director Sören Gonther welcomed the extension as a retention of a developing player who can contribute next season, though fans and rivals will watch for details on the undisclosed contract terms.
