The race for the signature of Bayern Munich midfielder Luiz Gustavo has taken a new lease of life after the player's agent has announced his client has yet to sign for Wolfsburg.

Reports in the German media announced earlier that the highly-chased Gustavo had already all but joined Die Wolfe, but the player's agent now disputes the claim.



"He has not signed anywhere", the player's agent Roger Wittmann was quoted as saying by Eurosport.

The statement threw the chase for the Brazilian midfielder wide open, with Arsenal, a club the player has admitted a liking for, and Chelsea sure to be alerted by this development – they were credited with interest in the Selecao star in recent weeks.

Camp Nou giants Barcelona will also be delighted with the news, as they look to snap up Gustavo as a replacement for Thiago Alcantara.

Gustavo played in 36 matches overall for the Allianz Arena outfit during the 2012/13 campaign, scoring a total four goals along the way, all of them in the Bundesliga.

The player's contract with Bayern Munich is set to expire in 2015.
