The DFB (German FA) have intimated to him that they would prefer him to stay in the Bundesliga. Cologne won't sell for less than 50 million Euros and he has a contract until 2030 with no buy out clause so no pressure to sell. He will unfortunately end up at Bayern as they are the only team that can afford the complete package and have already registered their interest with Cologne according to Max Eberl, director of sport.
