And the club's sports director, Marcus Mann, has all but confirmed Matondo won't be part of their plans for next season after he made just two starts in Bundesliga 2 since joining.
He said: "We are, of course, extremely dissatisfied with how the last few weeks have gone. Now it's all about finishing the season properly.
"We will use the players we want for next season in the remaining games. The players who are on loan and out of contract in the summer won't be involved."
Matondo cost Rangers £3 million when he signed for them three years ago and still has a year to run on his contract.
