Bayern Munich have pulled out of the race to sign Ilkay Gündoğan from Borussia Dortmund according to Sportal.

Gündoğan recently revealed that he has held talks with the Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.

“We are holding talks yes, but no decision has been made. I can’t say more than that on this,” Gündoğan replied when asked whether he was learning Catalan or Bavarian.

However, Sportal claim that the Bundesliga giants have pulled out of negotiations after Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge expressed his objection to the move.
