Coveted Schalke 04 winger Julian Draxler has refused to rule out the possibility of him joining Bayern Munich in the future.
The 20-year-old was an Arsenal target in the January transfer window but the Gunners could not agree a deal to bring him to the Premier League.
Bayern are reportedly preparing to swoop for the German international in the summer, and despite committing himself to Schalke until 2018 just last year, Draxler's message to Munich was never say never.
He told www.derwesten.de "I'd prefer not to comment on all those rumours. Look at what happened with Manuel Neuer. He was 100% convinced that he would never join FC Bayern but, after having played as a pro for five years, time made him change his opinion.
"I also can't say what I will think in five or six or maybe even 10 years. And when you rule something out entirely and you end up playing where most people don't want you to be, the outcry is huge."
Draxler is the youngest player to make 100 Bundesliga appearances, doing so when he was only 19.
