The Colombia international is in the final months of a two-year loan spell with the Bundesliga champions and the likes of Juventus and Arsenal have been linked with a move for him in the summer.

Bayern have the option to make the deal permanent for around £37 million but appear unlikely to trigger the clause.

"I have to think hard about what I'm doing [in terms of my future]," he told Cadena SER's 'El Larguero'.

"In Madrid, I have everything such as my house and people who love me.

"We will have to see what happens, but at the moment I have a contract with Bayern Munich.

"I just want to finish the season and we'll see what happens.

"I keep in touch with some Real Madrid players."
