Ilkay Gundogan is reportedly stalling on signing a new contract at Borussia Dortmund, with suggestions that he finds the prospect of a potential move to the Premier League an attractive one.
The 24-year-old only signed an extension in April, but that deal expires in 2016 and according to BILD he isn't ready to commit his long term future to Dortmund just yet.
The German publication also cites interest from Manchester United as a likely reason behind his decision to delay. Any refusal to sign a new deal would leave Dortmund little choice but to sell this summer, with a fee of £16m having previously been suggested.
Gundogan has been linked with a move to Old Trafford ever since helping Dortmund reach the Champions League final in 2013, while Arsenal are another English club rumoured to be have been interested in the past.
He spent the majority of the 2013/14 campaign sidelined with a back injury. However, since a making a return to full fitness this season, the German international has been a regular in the side once more.
