No interest in Barcelona
Manuel Neuer's matchwinning performance for Schalke 04 in their Champions League last 16 game at FC Porto has not gone unnoticed.
Spanish media are reporting that FC Barcelona are interested in signing the 21-year-old keeper. For his part, Neuer says he has no interest in moving away from the "Royal Blues".
Pledged to Schalke
Quite to the contrary, in fact: the Schalke number one has delivered a clear statement of his commitment to the club, saying, "It's news to me. If it's true, it would be an honour, of course, to attract the interest of a top club like Barcelona. But I'm a Schalke man, and feel absolutely at home here. I've got a long-term contract, and I'm not wasting any time thinking about other clubs."
Neuer is much more concerned about his team's upcoming encounter with MSV Duisburg on Friday, stressing that, "We have to carry on where we left off at Bielefeld if we are to achieve the goal we've set ourselves in the Bundesliga."
