Bayern Munich defender Dante has revealed that Premier League side Manchester United are interested in signing him, and he has admitted that something will be sorted out by the end of the month.
The Brazilian international was having a radio interview back in his homeland, and he has been quoted as saying ‘ I have not yet signed for United, but something will be sorted soon’.
However, after getting word of this, Munich’s officials have rubbished the reports and have claimed that the 30-year-old will be signing a new contract at the club in the near future.
Dante’s full quote: “I’m still not (a United player). I continue at Bayern, and I thank Manchester United for their interest. It will all be sorted by the end of the month.”
However, the player’s agent, Marcus Marin denied any reports linking the centre-back with a move to England.
Marin said: “Manchester United followed him two years ago.
“We were in talks with them but then he ended up at Bayern.
“They are a very good club – and a very big club – so it would be interesting if they were interested in Dante, although I stress we have not spoken to anyone.
“There is no agreement with Manchester United.
“We are currently in negotiations with Bayern over a new year and his first option is to play there. He is very happy in Germany at the moment but if nothing can be arranged in the next few weeks then of course he would have to explore his options elsewhere.”
