After Jonas Hofmann and Alassane Plea, Borussia Mönchengladbach will soon be able to announce the next extension. Christoph Kramer confirmed corresponding negotiations.

Only this week Gladbach's sports director Roland Virkus announced that Borussia would like to extend the contracts of Christoph Kramer and Lars Stindl. The sporting director was particularly aggressive with Kramer, who has hopes of participating in the World Cup: “We would like to keep him.

Finally, on Thursday, Kramer also confirmed that "very good talks" had taken place between Borussia and him. "The thing is on the home straight," he even announced in an interview with Sky that he would soon sign and said: "It [extension] is not terribly difficult in Gladbach and for me in this constellation either."

The 31-year-old has been with Gladbach since 2013 - only interrupted by the 2015/16 season, when he played for Bayer Leverkusen for a year. But he wasn't nearly as happy there as with the Fohlenelf, where he was one of the starting eleven under Daniel Farke and even had to play in central defense or as a hanging striker and was able to convince.
