The ex-Club Brugge player has said that rumors sending him next season at Borussia Dortmund have not been proven.
"I have seen as many articles linking me with Tottenham or Inter as with Dortmund, but it is always their supporters who show themselves the most ... I do not understand this enthusiasm," he said. amused.
If his Parisian adventure were to end, many clubs could call on his services, he assured in a playful tone.
"A free player, international in the world N.1 team (in the Fifa ranking) and who is 28 years old, it cannot be a bad buy", says Meunier of himself. "Even if I get gangrene and someone has to cut my leg, they won't have a lot of money to lose, they just have to win and the clubs know that."
Whatever happens, he hopes that the current season will come to an end, while PSG is leading the French Championship, qualified in the final of the two national cups and in the quarter-final of the Champions League.

"Seeing our children 24 hours a day is just a blessing, I take great pleasure in being at home".
