Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has scotched speculation of a reunion with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City next season.
The 30-year-old, Germany's first-choice keeper since the 2010 World Cup, has a Bayern contract until June 2021.
But Neuer has been linked with a move to City, whose custodian Claudio Bravo has struggled this season.
Neuer: "There was no contact and I'm happy here"
There have been rumours that City's ex-Bayern coach Guardiola will try to lure Neuer to Manchester, but the German says he is happy in Bavaria.
"There was no contact and I'm happy and satisfied here," said Neuer, who signed his Bayern extension in April 2016.
"It honours me that there's speculation and talk about it, " he said. "But Pep still has my phone number and he hasn't called me, so everything's fine."
Set for Arsenal Champions League match-up
Neuer has been voted the world's best goalkeeper for the last four years by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS).
He will be between the sticks when Bayern host Arsenal on Wednesday night in the Champions League last-16 first leg, with the return in London on 7 March.
The Gunners have lost at this stage of the competition in each of the last six seasons while Bayern are on a record 15-game winning streak at home in Europe.
