Pascal Groß Insists Contract Extension at Dortmund Must Be Mutually Sensible

The 34-year-old midfielder, under contract through 2026 with an option, says he won’t extend unless he remains integral to Dortmund’s plans.

Overview

  • Groß warns that 2025–26 may be his last season if he does not secure meaningful playing time.
  • He recalled Dortmund’s season low at 11th place after the Leipzig defeat and the eight-game unbeaten streak that lifted them to fourth.
  • The veteran delivered key moments last season, including four assists against Union Berlin and a goal in Lisbon across 30 Bundesliga appearances.
  • Emerging talent Jobe Bellingham and established players Emre Can, Salih Özcan, Felix Nmecha and Marcel Sabitzer intensify the duel for central midfield roles.
  • With his contract valid until 2026 and an option in place, Groß insists he would seek a move or retire rather than stay without an essential role.
