Attention after Friday's win

GOAL, citing Foot Mercato, reported that Borussia Mönchengladbach started the season with six straight defeats. Mohya has three goals and one assist in eight matches this season.
What Roland Virkus said
Sporting director Roland Virkus said: "He is fulfilling his role as one of the most prominent rising talents at Borussia Mönchengladbach to perfection. He has excellent character, comes from a wonderful family, and of course, we are closely monitoring how he deals with this situation. It does not worry us. He is a role model for everyone who comes after him, showing them how to stay humble."
Virkus said: "We are in contact with him, his parents and his agent. Wael is completely calm, and he feels, so to speak, like a promising young talent. But one thing is clear: he will not play his whole life at Borussia Mönchengladbach."
Virkus also said: "There is no escaping the need to generate revenue from transfers. And that is not always what the fans want to hear."
Mohya's record and background
Mohya joined Borussia Mönchengladbach at the age of eight. At 16 years, 9 months and 28 days, he became the youngest player in the history of Borussia Mönchengladbach's first team.
Last season, Mohya scored twice and set up one in 17 matches.
Interest and international decision
GOAL, citing Sky Sport Germany, reported that Bayern Munich are particularly keen on Mohya. GOAL, citing Sky Sport Germany, reported that Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen and Leipzig have also registered their interest in him.
GOAL reported that a deal for Mohya is unlikely this winter. Germany's Under-21 side want him too, while Morocco have spent several months trying to convince him.
Mohya told Kicker magazine last March: "Yes, there have been contacts, but I cannot reveal more. I have not made a decision yet, and I am taking my time."
