Monchengladbach do not want to lose star man to Munich
Borussia Monchengladbach are confident they can convince Dante to sign a new contract and not move to Bayern Munich.
Monchengladbach, who currently lie second in the Bundesliga, have already lost Marco Reus to Borussia Dortmund and Roman Neustadter to Schalke.
Dante, who has been a commanding figure in the club's transformation from relegation candidates to title challengers, is the latest to attract interest.
But director of sport Max Eberl told
Kicker magazine: "I can report from our talks with Dante and his advisors and we have been in close contact for a long time now.
"We want to extend Dante's contract and we are heading in the right direction to achieve something big and therefore be able to offer Dante sporting potential.

"Dante is an important player in our side."
Gladbach are on course for a place in the UEFA Champions League next season with 10 points separating them from fifth-placed Werder Bremen with 12 games of the season remaining.
Dante's contract still has over two years left to run on it and he has made it clear that money does not play a role in his future planning.
"If it was only down to money, then I would move to Russia," he told the
Express newspaper.
"I have good contacts over there. But now is not the time to talk about what happens in the summer."
