The 26-year-old has also said he would be open to a switch to either Real Madrid or Barcelona – but insists he is not looking for a way out of Munich.
“I can imagine trying something else but I really feel very comfortable at Bayern,” he told Bild.
“Every year there a new challenges and new objectives and the pressure will always be there. I’m happy in Munich but of course I can imagine seeing something else [in the future].”

And on Arsenal, he said: “Yes I was [and Arsenal fan as a child]. When you’ve been Arsenal fan as a kid you will be one your whole life in some way.”
