Dries Mertens has knocked back the advances of German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund according to a report from Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia.

The Napoli attacker has drawn links to a host of clubs lately, due to the fact his contract with the Stadio San Paolo is due to expire at the end of the current season.

Dortmund did not wish to wait until the Summer and enquired about a permanent move in January but the 32-year-old Belgian simply told them he had no interest.

Napoli are understood to have tabled him a two year contract extension with a €4 million annual salary but the player is understood to remain sceptical about the idea of extending his deal therefore the former PSV Eindhoven man's future is right up in the air at the moment.

This season he has made 22 appearances across all competitions, in which he has scored nine goals and given four assists.
