Borussia Monchengladbach defender Matthias Ginter has confirmed that Chelsea want to sign him this summer but has ruled out a move away from Germany ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.
The Blues have allegedly identified the 26-year-old as a potential transfer target, with head coach Frank Lampard keen to improve his defence during this summer's transfer window.
Ginter has revealed that the Premier League club have been in contact, but he is not looking to leave Marco Rose's side, who will be present in next season's Champions League courtesy of finishing fourth in the recent Bundesliga campaign.
"I'm definitely staying in Gladbach. Of course I heard of the enquiries and was flattered by this attention. But I've said often enough how good things are for me in Gladbach. The current team has great potential and the coach has brought a huge added value for us," Ginter told Kicker.
"The club is in the process of building something with the great fans and the environment. I also have big goals with the club and of course I'm still tied into a contract."
Ginter scored once in 36 appearances for Gladbach during the 2019-20 season.
