German international Mats Hummels has spoken about his happiness at Borussia Dortmund and has lots of work to do before considering a move to the Premier League.
Hummels was seen as the perfect signing for Louis Van Gaal as he looks to secure a world class centre back, but it seems his search will have to go on as the defender rules out a move.
He said: “It’s nice to hear that big clubs like that are interested in you
“I take that as a compliment. But it doesn’t influence me in any way, otherwise. We earn enough here in Dortmund.
“There will always be someone who can pay more than BVB. But Dortmund have made a lot of progress during my time here.
“In any case: I believe that it’s enough for me. If one day I start thinking about playing abroad, money won’t be the reason. But I don’t even think about that at the moment. We still have so much further to go here.”
“There are some [who stay at one club for their whole careers], and they are all really great players. Paolo Maldini of Milan, for example, or Steven Gerrard.
“I would have been so happy for him if he had won the championship with Liverpool. [Lionel] Messi always plays for Barcelona. Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thomas Müller, too, will perhaps play in Munich for ever.”
