Benevento have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Andre Schurrle after Borussia Dortmund released him on a free transfer.

Although Schurrle’s contract had one more year to run, Dortmund announced this afternoon that a rescission had been mutually agreed. 

“On reflection, it was a period with highs and lows – but also with many valuable experiences both on a sporting and, in particular, on a personal level,” he told the club’s official website.

“I would like to thank those responsible at BVB and wish the club and its special fans all the best for the future.”

That could be of particular interest to Benevento, who will play Serie A football next season and have been linked with bringing in the forward.

The 29-year-old won the World Cup with Germany in 2014 but has endured mixed fortunes since.

Most recently, he managed two goals and four assists in 18 appearances for Spartak Moscow during the second half of 2019-20.
