He made a total of 42 appearances in all competitions under Thomas Tuchel last season, including the full 90 minutes in their DFB-Pokal final triumph over Eintracht Frankfurt.
The signing of Omer Toprak from Bayer Leverkusen cast doubt on his future at Signal Iduna Park, however, leading to reports of interest from clubs including Gladbach, Tottenham and Liverpool.
BVB sporting director Michael Zorc confirmed via the club's official website: "Matthias Ginter approached us with his wish to leave the club because of the competition in our defence, and we met his wish."
