19-year-old Tom Bischof is facing a crucial decision about his future.

The youngster has been one of the bright spots for TSG Hoffenheim this season, securing a starting spot in the central midfield.

With his contract set to expire in the summer, he is now being monitored by Eintracht Frankfurt, Bologna and several other unnamed Bundesliga clubs, according to Bild.

Hoffenheim, meanwhile, are naturally determined to avoid losing him on a free transfer and are working hard to extend his contract.

"I am already in dialogue with his agent and a personal meeting will take place soon. TSG's absolute goal is to extend the contract," Hoffenheim managing director for sport Andreas Schicker recently confirmed.

Bischof recently won the Fritz Walter Gold Medal as Germany's most promising U19 player.
