AS Monaco are reported to have opened negotiations with the entourage of Paris Brunner (20) to extend their striker’s contract, according to information from L’Équipe .

Under contract with AS Monaco until 2028, the young German has established himself as one of the standout performers of the early Ligue 1 season, having scored six goals in seven appearances across all competitions.

Such momentum has naturally not gone unnoticed abroad, particularly across the Rhine, where Borussia Dortmund could take advantage of a clause included in his contract at the time of his transfer from the Rhineland club to ASM to re-sign him.

However, it should be noted that this clause would not give BvB priority in this matter, but would allow them to match an offer from another club – should such an offer arise. In other words, if Borussia wish to bring Brunner back, they will need to convince not only the Monaco management, but also the player himself.
