Last season's beaten Champio♏ns League finalists have been on the lookout for reinforcements at centre-back after🐻 allowing Mats Hummels to leave on a free.
Anton, who ap🌜peared twice for Germany as they reached the quarter-finals at Euro 2024, was a key part of the Stuttgart team that finished second in the Bundesliga last season.
He played in 33 of their 34 league games in 2023-24 as they finished as runners-up to unbeaten champions Bayer Leverkusen, one p🍸oint clear of Bayern Munich.
Anton, who has penned a four-year deal with BVB, told the club's website: "I didn't originally plan to change clubs 🎃– but then 𒈔Borussia Dortmund came along. A top club that has just reached the Champions League final. This shows the potential of this club."
He is the first signing to arrive at Signal Iduna Park under Nꦑuri Sahin, who succeeded Edin Terzic as head coach last month.
