Borussia Dortmund to hold Erik Durm talks

Borussia Dortmund have confirmed that they are due to hold contract talks with defender Erik Durm.

The 22-year-old's current deal at the Signal Iduna Park expires in 2017, but the club is keen to offer him a two-year extension.

The German international broke into the Dortmund side last season, making a total of 26 appearances for the Bundesliga runners-up.

"Concrete discussions with Durm and his agent will take place shortly," sporting director Michael Zorc is quoted as saying by Kicker.

Dortmund start the new Bundesliga campaign on Saturday when they host Bayer Leverkusen.
