Hertha Berlin chief Michael Preetz has confirmed plans to extend the loan of Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic.
The Serb is on a season-long at Hertha and spoke this week about the prospect of playing with the Germans again next term.
Preetz said: "We'll talk to our colleagues from Liverpool about a scenario that goes beyond the summer on this track.
"But I'm afraid there's not a quick answer to what we will be seeking."
Grujic says Champions League qualification would be key for him staying.
