Mats Hummels said he will stay with Borussia Dortmund for another year but offered no assurances about his long-term future.
The 26-year-old World Cup winner has been linked heavily with a move to Manchester United and admitted to being flattered by the interest.
But having seen a number of team-mates, such as Mario Götze and Robert Lewandowski, leave the club in recent seasons, the German centre-half was not ready to depart Dortmund yet.
“There have always been rumours about almost every one of our players, but I decided not to make the move this year,” Hummels said in Singapore before a pre-season friendly against Johor Southern Tigers of Malaysia.
“Of course when the big clubs are interested, and Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world, it’s an honour. But I decided I wanted to stay here,” he said.
Hummels, who began his career with Bayern Munich, has another two years left on his contract with Dortmund, who are now coached by Thomas Tuchel after Jürgen Klopp stepped down last season.
