The German side faces a difficult task to maintain one of its precious assets this summer.

With 17 goals and 19 assists, Sancho, 20, has been one of the most outstanding players in the Bundesliga this period and Manchester United leads the race for his signature.
But if they cannot retain him, despite his starting price of £ 120 million, Borussia Dortmund is ready to attack England again to find his replacement.
According to the Sunday Mirror, Dortmund identified the Arsenal teenager Saka as the man they want to bring.
Once, 18-year-old Emei received his first team debut from Unai Emery in the Europa League last season.
But after having more minutes under his belt this period, as well as injuries to Kieran Tierney and Sead Kolasinac, new boss Mikel Arteta has stayed with Saka on the left side.
The England youth international looks comfortable on paper, despite growing up in a more advanced attacking position.
In total, Saka scored three and established another eight in all competitions in the 2019/20 campaign.

However, he only has one year left to run with his current £ 3,000 a week contract in the Emirates.
Arteta is confident that an agreement will be reached that would see the young man receive an extraordinary salary increase.
He said last month: “The club is doing what it has to do and is having conversations. We will resolve it.
But with the talks still not proving conclusive, Dortmund may seek to get ahead of Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich, who have also shown interest.
The German team is also looking to Birmingham ace Jude Bellingham for a summer trade, the same report adds.
At just 16 years old, the young midfielder has drawn a lot of attention for his performances in the Championship, where he accumulated four goals and three assists.
Many major clubs are chasing Bellingham, which could cost up to £ 50 million, with Manchester United and Chelsea keenly interested.
Bellingham is understood to have been “impressed” by United when he was shown around his Carrington training complex last month.
His parents joined him as he had conversations with Solskjaer, legendary boss Sir Alex Ferguson, and transfer boss Matt Judge.
A source from Old Trafford told SunSport: “We feel that you were impressed with what they showed you and what everyone said.
“We think he was impressed with what we can offer. We have a duty to care for young players and we want to develop them. “
