Borussia Dortmund have today announced the signing of 23-year-old Croatian defender Marin Pongracic from Wolfsburg on a season-long loan with an option to buy for a reported €12m.

“Marin is a young centre-back with speed who completes our defence,” said Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc.

At Wolfsburg, Pongracic was fourth choice central-defender behind Maxence Lacroix, John Brooks and summer arrival Sebastiaan Bornauw.

Pongracic can also provide cover at right-back and has played under BVB head coach Marco Rose during their time together at RB Salzburg.
