Although the option is complicated in the financial, the wish of the German in going out could accelerate his exit two years before finalising his agreement by a very inferior price to his value of market (80 million euros).

The one of Rottweil arrived to the Allianz Sand in the summer of 2015 pertinent of the Leipzig and this great season 7 goals and 11 assistances in 45 parties, keeping as indisputable in the XI of Thomas Tuchel.
