David Alaba has hit out at Bayern Munich for allowing rumours about his contract negotiations to spread.
The defender is out of contract at the end of the season and is yet to agree a new deal with the European champions.
That has led to speculation that Liverpool may well take an interest in the 28-year-old in January as potential cover for an injury-hit defensive line.
Bayern Munich are said to have withdrawn their latest offer to Alaba, who is upset at the high figures attached to his name in the press.
He told Bild: "I have emphasized again and again that I would have liked very much that internal matters also remained internal.
"To portray myself in public as it was in the last few months - that's how I can understand the fans' perspective.
"I can assure you that the sums that are put into the room are not true. I was disappointed and also hurt somewhere that it was not denied by the authorities, that I never asked for the figures that are now being revealed in the media."
Alaba admitted his future in Munich is uncertain after president Herbert Hainer claimed the club had withdrawn their offer of a new deal but the Austrian remains happy to play for the club.
He said: "I heard it like everyone else on the news.
"I cannot say how it will continue from this point.
"I am glad to be playing for Bayern, and to be a part of the team. But what the future will look like after yesterday evening I just cannot say, as no one has talked to me officially."
The defender also appeared to confirm that he had been offered to Manchester City in the summer as a potential swap deal for Leroy Sane - who did move to the Bundesliga champions.
Explaining his contract situation, Alaba said that it was a slap in the face to be offered as a swap.
He said: "This respect and appreciation for what I was looking for, where the contract negotiations began, did not go in the right direction.
"That was a year ago. In times when Corona was still very far away.
"It went on and on. After the second or third conversation I got a call and was asked if I could consider a swap. Where I then say: That's a slap in the face somewhere."
