Jonathan Tah's future is up in the air these days, with Bayern Munich among the clubs the Bayer Leverkusen defender is being linked with.
Both Tah and Leverkusen have made it clear that a decision on the future of the centre-back, who is under contract until 2025, won't be made before the end of the season.
At the moment, Leverkusen managing director for sport Simon Rolfes insists he's not too worried about Tah's departure and is optimistic the 28-year-old will stay.
"After a certain amount of time and at this age, it's understandable that you think about whether there's another situation and it's not a problem," Rolfes told DPA.
"But I have a good feeling that he will stay. Because he senses what has been created here in recent years. And what is still possible. That's why I'm very relaxed."
Bayer Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro recently said that Leverkusen would look to sell a player in the summer to finance new signings, but Rolfes won't go that far.
"That was more of a fundamental statement," Rolfes said, adding:
“The goal is to have a top team next year. If you invest, you may have to sell players. That was the case five years ago and it will probably be the case in three years. But it's clear that we won't have to sell four players in the summer.”
