Dante plays down Bayern exit talk

Brazilian defender Dante has ruled out a possible exit from Bayern Munich next summer, according to a report.

The 31-year-old's future at the Allianz Arena was thrown in doubt after he was taken off just 32 minutes into a league game with Hannover at the weekend.

Recent reports revealed that the veteran defender could be forced to exit the Bavarian giants at the end of the current campaign.

However, The Bild claims that Dante has vowed to regain his spot in the starting line-up.

"I have a contract with Bayern and I want to help Bayern win on the pitch or, if necessary, from the bench. However, I will not lie and say that I am satisfied to be on the bench," Dante said.
