Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic admitted on Monday he did not know if Jadon Sancho might remain with the club beyond the end of this season but called on the England winger to once again play a starring role against Paris Saint-Germain.
Sancho was outstanding as Dortmund beat PSG 1-0 at home in last week's Champions League semifinal first leg, setting them up nicely for Tuesday's return match in the French capital.
"We have talked about the short-term future. This is tomorrow, with a very important game, maybe also the biggest game in his career so far," Terzic told reporters at the Parc des Princes on the eve of the match when asked if discussions had been had with Sancho.
The 24-year-old returned to Dortmund in January on loan from Manchester United until the end of the season.
The Bundesliga side's sporting director, Sebastien Kehl, said on Sunday that they "will try everything" to keep him at the club where he previously starred for four years before being sold to United in 2021.
"We are really happy with him. From all sides we are happy to have him in our team. I think you can feel that he is happy to be with us," Terzic added.
"We don't know how long the story will continue. This is part of the deal, that he is not our player from July 1, but until then we are going to make this time that we have as special as possible.
"We are really feeling that he is in a good way. I think that big games are decided by big players and tomorrow he will have the opportunity to decide it."
Dortmund are currently fifth in the Bundesliga, but they have upset the odds in the Champions League, notably topping their group ahead of PSG on the way to a first semifinal in the competition since the reached the final in 2013.
