Maximilian Philipp thanked Borussia Dortmund and their fans in an official statement:
“It was very special for me to play for Borussia Dortmund and I would like to thank the black and yellow family for their support over the past two years. For me, at this age it is a priority to have as much playing time as possible, I’m looking forward to a new challenge now.“
