Bayern Munich insist there's no chance of Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer going to Manchester United.
Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge insists only Schalke's asking price is stalling the deal.
"Let's talk about the facts," he said to ZDF television.
"Fact one is Manuel Neuer will not be staying with Schalke beyond 2012. Fact two is that Manuel Neuer will not be moving abroad."
However, a switch to Bayern is still not certain.
"We are in talks with Schalke, but I am not as optimistic as certain members of the media," Rummenigge told Sky television.
"We don't have any urgency, though. It is only April 30 and the transfer market closes on August 31.
"We will see if we can find a solution. If there is one, then OK, but if not then both clubs will have to live with it."
