If true, such a development will almost certainly mean that there will be no definitive answers to where the 21-year-old will play next season until tomorrow. The now twice-capped German international will need time to consider his sporting future. The current Southampton central defender was not included in Bundestrainer Hansi Flick's latest round of call ups for the coming international break.
