SC Freiburg is close to extending Matthias Ginter's contract. The 32-year-old defender and 2014 World Cup winner wants to extend his deal until 2027, remaining a key player for the club. According to Sport Bild, an agreement is only a matter of time.
Why is Ginter extending his contract at Freiburg?
Ginter returned to his youth club in 2022 on a free transfer after five years at Borussia Mönchengladbach. As early as April, he indicated that he could see himself ending his career in Freiburg. With his experience and leadership, he is a crucial part of Freiburg's defense.
What does this mean for Freiburg?
Last season, Ginter played 32 Bundesliga games and led the team as defensive captain to the Europa League final. Even though they lost to Aston Villa, Ginter remains a key figure. With his extension, Freiburg can count on an experienced defender for the coming years.
Are there more contract extensions?
In addition to Ginter, offensive player Vincenzo Grifo is also reportedly seeking an extension. This means Freiburg could rely on two of its most important players in the new season. Ginter's contract extension is a clear signal of the club's stability and ambitions.
