Luiz Gustavo describes his future as a "delicate situation" as Bayern Munich mull over offers from Arsenal, Wolfsburg and Napoli.

Bayern Munich midfielder Luiz Gustavo has described his future as a "delicate situation", with his main concern currently focused on staying in Brazil's plans for next summer's World Cup.

Gustavo has fallen out of favour under new Bayern boss Pep Guardiola, as the Spaniard experiments with summer Thiago Alcantara and Philipp Lahm in a defensive midfield position.

The 26-year-old has welcomed recent interest from Arsenal and Wolfsburg in his signature, but admitted that he holds reservations about falling down the Selecao pecking order if a summer move turns sour.

He told ESPN Brazil: "The Premier League is a great competition. Arsenal have a lot of tradition. I need a team that has space to play.

"It's a delicate situation. I'm looking for the best option, the best decision.

"I am going to have to play, to stay in shape and carry on being called up [for Brazil].

Napoli are also rumoured to be interested in the holding midfielder, who is believed to be available for around £14m.
