Ilkay Gundogan extends Borussia Dortmund deal

Purported Man Utd target Ilkay Gundogan has extended his contract with Borussia Dortmund until the end of the 2016 season. The talented midfielder has long been linked with a move away from the Bundesliga.

Jurgen Klopp, BVB's manager, has been long hoping to agree a new deal with Gundogan and has even threatened to think about his own future unless the club are able to agree terms with their talisman German star Gundogan.

The 23-year-old is currently fighting for a place in Germany's World Cup squad this summer as he recovers from injury.

Klopp said of Gundogan's ongoing injury issues:  "It's getting better all the time. But as bitter as it is for all involved, especially for Ilkay, you just need to accept that this thing needs time."
