Borussia Dortmund's teenage star Mario Gotze will remain at the club until 2014, according to his teammate Kevin Grosskreutz.
Gotze has been strongly linked to a number of top European clubs with Arsenal and Real Madrid emerging as the favourites to secure the playmaker.
It had been expected that the German international, who played a major role in helping Borussia Dortmund win the Bundesliga last season, would leave the club in the summer.
Grosskreutz, however, stated: "He cannot leave without me because we are always together. Gotze and I will stay until 2014."
The 19-year-old has scored 14 times in 63 appearances for Dortmund, as well as registering 19 assists.
