We’re pleased to have reached an agreement to continue working together in the future.”

“I’m very happy to be able to spend two more years at the best club in the world and am already looking forward to next season,” said Herrmann, who has scored 55 goals in 388 competitive games for the Foals. “I feel very at home here and am incredibly proud to have played here for so long. Borussia will always be my club.”
