"Since 2015, I have been told by the club that FCA are a stepping stone for me There are a few topics between me and Augsburg that I think about a lot," the left-back told TZ.
Now, Augsburg coach Martin Schmidt has commented on Max's statements and made an assessment of the 25-year-old's situation at the club.
"We don't attach any value to something like that here. I look Philipp Max in the eyes every day and see him hanging in," Schmidt told Sport Bild and added:
"He wants to take the next step as a professional, I know that. That's Philipp's dream. But he knows that he can only take the next step if there is a concrete opportunity to do so, and something like that is always based on performance."
Max's contract with Augsburg runs until 2022.
