Hertha Berlin management won't rule out keeping hold of on-loan Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic next season.
Grujic is expected to leave Liverpool at the end of this season.
Hertha coach Bruno Labbadia said: "The first question is whether it's possible [to retain him] and the second one is whether he fits with our new signing Lucas Tousart or is a different player, a better fit."
The Serbian has also been linked with a move to Borussia Monchengladbach, where coach Marco Rose is a fan.
Grujic has shone this season on-loan in Berlin.
