Last month, Diario AS cited a report in German outlet Express which claims the 22-year-old is on Atleti’s radar and claims that he would be available for transfer in the region of €40m.
Calciomercato say that Italian giants Milan are monitoring the central midfielder and are willing to meet any realistic asking price.
“Denis will not leave Borussia in the winter, a change is 100 per cent excluded,” his agent Mathieu Beda told Sport BILD, as cited by ESPN.
“Denis is in very good shape in Gladbach and has been playing really well for weeks, but he still has more potential and he wants to show that in Gladbach now instead of dealing with a change”.
