The native Bavarian has even been linked with Serie A Champions SSC Napoli. The former 1860 München academ- man maintains an estimated market worth of €8.5 million in the latest transfermarkt listings.
Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg, meanwhile, reports that the foals are looking in a different direction. Former Hertha academy man Jordan Torunarigha - another famous former German youth international who now represents Nigeria - has been able to revive his career somewhat since permanently moving to KAA Gent last summer.
Torunarigha scored three goals and registered two assists in the Jupiler Pro League last year. The Chemnitz-native's estimated market worth currently lies at €5 million, potentially rendering him a much more economical option.
