Despite that, and the potential for suitors to step up their interest, key figures at his current club are hopeful he will sign fresh terms that reflect his impact in south west Germany.

'Any discussions with Nick's management are not about clarifying his sporting future, but rather about us wanting to contractually express our appreciation for his outstanding sporting development. I am very confident that we will bring the discussions to a successful conclusion.'
