Bundesliga: Borussia Dortmund to part ways with Raphael Guerreiro

Raphael Guerreiro's contract will not be extended by Borussia Dortmund, according to sporting director Sebastian Kehl.

Following the conclusion of the Bundesliga season, it was announced that Guerreiro would be departing the club when his contract expires at the end of June.

In an interview with German newspaper Bild, Kehl shed light on the reasons behind the failure to reach an agreement on a new contract between the left-back and the club.

"We made 'Rapha' a financially improved offer for two years plus an option," said Kehl.

"The discussions were always fair and correct. We would have liked to keep him, but in the end we couldn't agree.

"Also in this respect we stand for a clear plan, a direction, because Rapha will be 30 years old and wanted a contract with an even longer term."

The 29-year-old has been with Dortmund since 2016, and has since made 224 appearances, scoring 40 goals and providing 50 assists.
