Dortmund, Germany: Borussia Dortmund have signed Waldemar Anton from Stuttgart until 2028, filling their vacant centre-back spot after the departure of veteran Mats Hummels.
The Champions League runners-up confirmed the addition of the former Stuttgart captain on Monday, although Anton's signing had been widely reported since June.
German media reported Dortmund triggered the Uzbekistan-born defender's 22.5-million-euro ($24 million) release clause.
Anton, 27, received his first Germany call-up in March and was named in Julian Nagelsmann's Euro 2024 squad. He played two games, coming on as a substitute in Friday's 2-1 quarter-final loss to Spain after extra time.
At Dortmund, Anton joins Germany teammates Nico Schlotterbeck, Niclas Fuellkrug and Emre Can.
