Bundesliga football club Borussia Dortmund and defender Nico Schulz, 30, have ended their cooperation with immediate effect. Both sides agreed on a termination contract.

Schulz moved to Strobelallee from TSG Hoffenheim in July 2019. He made 40 Bundesliga appearances, ten UEFA Champions League appearances and six DFB-Pokal appearances for BVB. 

Borussia Dortmund's sporting director Sebastian Kehl says: "We all know that things have not gone as hoped for Borussia Dortmund and Nico Schulz in recent years. Nevertheless, we wish Nico all the best for his sporting and personal future."
