Fabian Johnson has confirmed that he is in talks over a new Borussia Monchengladbach contract as he nears a comeback after eight matches out with injury.
U.S. international Johnson, 29, suffered a thigh injury as Gladbach went out of the Europa League to Schalke in March, returning to training earlier this week.
The midfielder hopes to help his team back into the competition next season as they look to seal a qualifying place in the last three Bundesliga games.
"We at least need seven points for Europe," he told reporters ahead of the weekend's home match against Augsburg.
