Instead, it actually seems increasingly likely that he will stay. Sky also recently reported on this trend, citing Felix Nmecha’s contract extension as a reason. Furthermore, Schlotterbeck is said to have welcomed the fact that the departures of Julian Brandt, Niklas Süle and Salih Özcan have finally forced a shake-up, with wing play set to play a greater role in future.
Furthermore, the departure of sporting director Sebastian Kehl and the appointment of Nils-Ole Book – who has brought in talents such as Fisnik Asllani at SV Elversberg – suggest a breath of fresh air is on the horizon for squad planning. At the same time, however, there is intense speculation about a return of Jadon Sancho to BVB.
