Dortmund's Subotic weighing up options

Borussia Dortmund defender Neven Subotic has revealed he could leave the club this summer.

The 27-year-old fell down the pecking order after Thomas Tuchel took charge from Jurgen Klopp at the club, and subsequently made only 11 appearances in all competitions during the 2015-16 campaign. 

The player has revealed it wasn't easy to adapt to his new situation, and wants to speak with the club before making a decision on his future.

"I have been a footballer for 10 years and last season was the first where I got little playing time. I needed some time to accept my new situation," Subotic told Ruhr Nachrichten.

"We had a phenomenal season and I understand the coach cannot keep everyone happy. But I did not become a footballer to get paid for warming the bench. I want to play. I am a fighter.

"I really appreciate the club, the team and the fans. But we will definitely sit down to discuss my future. I will have to wait and see what the club want and whether that matches my expectations. You have to be open if that's not the case.

"But we are not there just yet. I always have to laugh about transfer rumours a bit. Sometimes it looks like others know more about my plans than I do."
