“I feel very comfortable in the club and in the city, which is why I focus exclusively on football every day. I can’t say what will happen in the future. But, as we all know, things can change very quickly in professional football.”

Mavropanos made 28 appearances in the Bundesliga last season, scoring two goals and establishing himself as one of the most highly regarded defenders in German football.
