Arsenal and Manchester United target speaks out over rumours

By

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan will hold off on making a decision regarding his future until after the international break.

The 24-year-old is a target for Arsenal, Manchester United and Bayern Munich according to reports but is yet to reach an agreement with a new club.

The Germany international is expected to leave Borussia Dortmund but will only take a decision after upcoming games with the German national team.

"Normally I do not address media reports, especially not on Facebook," the player wrote on his Facebook profile.

"I want to this time to explain some things and give you a better insight.

"In recent weeks, I, like you, read again and again that where I was signing was already agreed.

"Today I am in contract negotiations here, tomorrow I'm having a medical check there. At first I could still smile about it, but when there was talk of 'contract poker' and 'rip-off', that painted me in a bad light.

"Yesterday an ominous number [regarding wage demands] appeared in the media and so I have now decided to say something about it.

"The 2014/15 season strictly speaking only ends on June 30 2015.

"Although so far there have hardly been any transfers completed in Europe, rumour to rumour I was supposed to have demanded more and more, putting off making a final decision.

"Forgotten was this: I have one more year on my contract with BVB.

"What is important to me is that I'm not gambling financially or using delaying tactics.

"What's next for me personally, I will reveal as soon as possible.

"But only after the season and our important game for the European Championship qualifier with the national team will I decide."
