Bayern Munich defender Dante insists he has no intention of leaving the
reigning Bundesliga champions despite being linked with several top European
clubs in recent weeks.
The 31-year-old found starting opportunities somewhat limited during the
recently-completed season as Bayern boss Pep Guardiola preferred to partner
Jerome Boateng and Medhi Benatia in central defence.
Dante's inability to cement a starting place in the heart of Bayern's
backline has seen him linked with a move away from the Allianz Arena, with
Manchester United, Juventus and his former club Borussia Monchengladbach
reportedly interested in securing his services.
But Dante insists his future lies with the Bavarian club, whom he joined
in 2012 on a four-year deal from Monchengladbach, and he points to the success
he and Bayern have enjoyed as reason enough to stay and fight for his place.
'(I see my future) with FC Bayern,' he told the official Bundesliga website.
'I've been playing here for three years now and I know every single day
how fortunate I am to be able to play for such a big club.
'I enjoy every day here. 'Just think, I've been in at least the semi-finals
of the Champions League and the DFB-Pokal Cup in each of these three years, and
won the Bundesliga each time.
'It can hardly get any better than that. I'll always give everything for
this club’. Dante has two years remaining on his current Bayern contract after
signing a one-year contract extension in March last year.
