The likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Napoli and Paris St. Germain have been put on red alert after Switzerland star Alexander Frei delivered a less than convincing pledge of commitment to Borussia Dortmund.
Speculation over a summer switch for the former Rennes standout has been gathering steam over the past couple of months, as the 29-year-old's relationship with BVB boss Juergen Klopp is said to be deteriorating.
Despite an impressive tally of 31 goals in 69 Bundesliga games, Frei lost his starting place in the Dortmund eleven to Mohamed Zidan and Nelson Valdez this season, and has been used mostly as a substitute even after fully recovering from the knee injury suffered at the European Championship on home soil.
Frei will be a free agent at the end of next season, prompting rumours that an amicable separation this summer would be in the best interests of all involved.
When pressed on the reports linking him to other clubs, the veteran striker said to Kicker, "Those sort of rumours always bear a certain truth.
"I have always enjoyed a brilliant backing from the fans and the team, I signed a four-year deal when I arrived and it is also a valid deal next season.
"Until now I am here and I will also be here tomorrow."
Sky Sports also pointed to a recent interview Frei did for Swiss boulevard paper Blick, when he spoke of his relationship with Klopp: "We are working together in a professional way, but we will are never likely to end up friends."
