Borussia Dortmund keeper Burki rejects Chelsea for new deal

Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Burki is set to resist interest from Chelsea and sign new terms.

With just over a year to run on his existing deal, the Switzerland international has been linked with Chelsea in the English press.

However, Kicker says Burki has verbally agreed a two-year contract extension with BVB to 2023.

A deal is set to be inked shortly. The agreement was reached during Germany's lockdown, though it is only now that all parties can get around a table and finalise terms.

The 29 year-old's commitment to BVB was never in doubt, according to BVB sources.
