‘Looking back, it’s been a time with a lot of ups and downs, and a valuable experience, both in the sporting sense but also privately,’ Schurrle said in a statement on the club’s official website.

‘I’d like to thank the club’s bosses and wish the club and its special fans all the best for the future.’ 

Schurrle made the move from Wolfsburg to Dortmund on a five-year deal in July 2016 and he scored eight goals and supplied 10 assists during his period at the club.
