Manuel Neuer has welcomed links to Manchester City - but insists there has been no contact from Pep Guardiola.
The German stopper is one of a number of Bayern Munich players to be tipped for a reunion with Guardiola at the Etihad.
City are expected to be on the lookout for a new No.1 again in the summer as doubts remain over Claudio Bravo.
Ahead of his side's Champions League clash with Arsenal, Neuer has insisted he is happy in Munich but is flattered to be linked with City.
'There was no contact and, as you know, I'm happy and satisfied here and I've just extended my contract, " he said.

"It honours me that there’s speculation and talk about it. Pep still has my phone number but he hasn’t called me, so everything is alright.”
Neuer will line up against Arsenal at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night as Bayern look to take a first-leg lead.
And he insisted that they will find it easier to play against Arsenal than some of their domestic opponents.

He said: "We will get more space. We’re a team who like to circulate the ball and take advantage of these spaces. That’s why I think for the fans it will be nice to watch.
“It’s the first leg. We need to improve from the performances before – not Ingolstadt but the matches before.
"A win would be important for us and I think the defenders and me would like to keep a clean.”
