Neven Subotic

Borussia Dortmund defender Neven Subotic has been continually linked with a move to Premier League side Manchester City, but the Serbian international has now made it clear that he won't leave BVB in the near future.

"Of course it is very flattering to hear that a big team such as Manchester City are interested in securing my services. They are so rich that they could probably buy whoever they want," Subotic told Bild.

"However, I recently extended my contract at Borussia Dortmund until 2014 and I'm not planning to leave the club already. I feel very well in Dortmund, both on and off the pitch.

"Additionally, I have the ambition to achieve something with the club. Head coach Juergen Klopp brought me here from Mainz and I owe it to him to stay at Borussia for now."

Dortmund technical director Michael Zorc added that the Bundesliga side have yet to receive an official offer from Manchester City and that a transfer appears to be very unlikely.
