Thiago Alcantara is committed to Bayern Munich and has no interest in following Pep Guardiola to Manchester City.
The Bayern manager is set to take over at City this summer, and reports in the English press have linked a number of his current and former players with moves to the Etihad Stadium.
But Robert Lewandowski has confirmed his desire to sign a new Bayern contract amid rumours of a move abroad, and Thiago, who attracted interest from Man Utd before signing for Bayern in 2013, also wants to stay at the Allianz Arena.
"There are always a lot of rumours. It's a fact that Guardiola is joining Manchester City and we have to respect that," Thiago is quoted in Bild. "But there is no truth in the rumours saying I will follow him.
"I would not have signed a new contract had I wanted to leave the club. I extended my contract for a reason."
Thiago signed a new four-year deal in August, but injury has limited the Spain international to nine Bundesliga starts this season.
