Paris Saint-Germain defender Thomas Meunier has ruled out a January move from the French club.
The full-back was linked with a summer move to a number of clubs, including Arsenal and Manchester United, but the Belgian international is determined to prove his worth at his current club in order to earn a new contract.
"It was an intense period, with a lot of interest and discussion," Meunier told RTBF about the summer speculation.
"I could have left but it was not done because there was nothing that suited the club or myself. Nothing was 100 per cent for it to work.
"I have always said that I wanted to stay in Paris. I still have one year on my contract and I still hope an extension can be secured.
"The situation is a little more complicated because I am no longer the preferred choice in my position, but I remain professional.
"I feel good there and we will see what happens during the season."
The 27-year-old has also made his thoughts on moving during the January window clear.
“I have already spoken with the coach," he added.
“We are aware that this year will be complicated. But I have always thought that leaving in the middle of the year is a bad idea because I think that the clubs which do business in January are clubs that, for me, act in haste.
“I have the impression when transfers are done in January that they are not thought out but rather a question of necessity.
“So for me a transfer in January is a no, even if I spend the first few months on the bench.”
