The left-back, who has spent his entire career at Dortmund so far, played just 11 games in the 2018/19 season, but he's reportedly not interested in finding a new club and wants to stay and fight for his place instead.
At the same time, the BVB bosses are willing to hold on to Schmelzer who's considered a highly popular motivator who never complains and always works hard.
"It certainly wasn't Marcel's last games for Borussia. He's a guy who completely identifies with Dortmund," Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc told Bild.
Schmelzer, whose contract runs until 2021, earns about €3.5 million a year, according to Bild.
