DORTMUND, Germany (AP) — Borussia Dortmund has released World Cup-winning forward André Schürrle from his contract a year early, the German club said Wednesday.
The 29-year-old Schürrle last played for Dortmund in May 2018 before loans at Fulham and Spartak Moscow. Dortmund said Schürrle and the club mutually agreed to terminate his contract, which was due to expire next year.
“On reflection, it was a period with highs and lows — but also with many valuable experiences both on a sporting and, in particular, on a personal level,” Schürrle said in a statement on the Dortmund website.
