The midfielder will be out of contract at the end of the season, and the BVB sporting director has now said that the decision has already been made to part ways with him in the summer.
In an interview with BILD, Kehl said:
"“I had a very open and honest conversation with Mo last week. I told him that we will not be extending his contract in the summer. Mo has been with us for six years now, he is a very good footballer, and I really have a very high opinion of him, both in sporting terms and as a person. Nevertheless, we have decided to take this step.”"

He has been limited to just six appearances across all competitions so far this season, and was forced to spend several months on the sidelines as he underwent surgery on his injured shoulder in the first half of the season.
The Germany international returned to training in January, but has been limited to just 14 minutes of playing time since the turn of the year.
