Manchester United and Chelsea goalkeeper Kai Havertz has asked to sit down with Bayer Leverkusen bosses as he seeks to resolve his future.
The German star has drawn interest from across Europe after a stellar season.
He helped Leverkusen reach the German Cup final on Saturday night, but had to settle for a runner-up medal as Bayern Munich was left with 4-2 winners.
Bundesliga champions are not believed to be chasing his signature after adding Leroy Sane.
But the Premier League duo, as well as Real Madrid, have been linked to a swoop for Havertz.
And Bild understands that the 21-year-old has asked to sit with high-ranking figures at BayArena to discuss whether he will play his football next season.

Chelsea have become a favorite to sign the German and have already shown their willingness to spend the money.
Frank Lampard is making up for lost time at Stamford Bridge as he was unable to sign players in his first summer.
The Blues chief has already added Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner to his team for next year.
Meanwhile, United has been strongly linked with Jadon Sancho, another young Bundesliga star.

But recent reports say the Red Devils were unwilling to pay more than £ 50 million for the Borussia Dortmund player his club values at £ 100 million.
It could force United to explore other avenues and Havertz can definitely be one of those.
Leverkusen CEO Rudi Voller has already admitted that if a proper deal is struck, they will allow the player to leave in the coming months.
“There is nothing specific, nothing to report. As of now, he is our player,” he said.
“We have our ideas, we know what he can do. I personally hope he stays for another year. We have an agreement: if it works, he can leave this summer.”
