Borussia Dortmund midfielder Moritz Leitner agreed a two-year contract extension until 2017 on Friday but moved for two seasons on loan to VfB Stuttgart to gain more playing time.
.
The 20-year-old Leitner, who joined in 2011 from 1860 Munich, struggled to get a regular spot last season in a crowded Dortmund midfield.
.
"He fits our demands," Stuttgart sports director Fredi Bobic told reporters. "He is young, highly skilled and understands the game very well. He is also capable of playing several positions."
.
Leitner won the domestic league and Cup double in 2012 and made four appearances in theChampions League last season but was an unused substitute in their 2-1 final defeat by Bayern Munichlast month.
.
Stuttgart have won a spot in the Europa League next season after losing in the German Cup final to treble- winning Bayern.
Bayern Munich should just let Lewandowski goal else he might not put in all his effort for them next season.
