Ilkay Gundogan will make a decision on his Borussia Dortmund future after Germany's Euro 2016 qualifier against Gibraltar this weekend.
A reported target for Manchester United, Arsenal, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, the 24 year old took to Facebook to address the speculation.
He wrote: 'Normally I do not address media reports, especially not on Facebook. I want to this time to explain some things and give you a better insight.
'In recent weeks, I, like you, read again and again that where I was signing was already agreed.
'Today I am in contract negotiations here, tomorrow I'm having a medical check there. At first I could still smile about it, but when there was talk of "contract poker" and "rip-off", that painted me in a bad light.
'Yesterday an ominous number [regarding wage demands] appeared in the media and so I have now decided to say something about it.
'The 2014/15 season strictly speaking only ends on 30.06.2015.
'Although so far there have hardly been any transfers completed in Europe, rumour to rumour I was supposed to have demanded more and more, putting off making a final decision.
'Forgotten was this: I have one more year on my contract with BVB.
'What is important to me is that I'm not gambling financially or using delaying tactics.
'What's next for me personally, I will reveal as soon as possible.
'But only after the season and our important game for the European Championship qualifier with the national team will I decide.'
