Christian Pulisic has ruled out a controversial transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Bayern Munich.

The much ballyhooed U.S. teenager has attracted the world's attention since breaking into Dortmund's first team, showing poise on the ball and the vision to play accurate passes.

Pulisic has also thrived on the international level, as he has contributed to the Americans' last eight goals in World Cup qualifying.

The chance to win trophies lured the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Mario Gotze to Munich in recent years, but Pulisic said he would resist the temptation.

"No, that I could not do," the 18-year-old told Penn Live's Jacob Klinger. "I can't say that, but nah."

Liverpool has reportedly cast a wandering eye in Pulisic's direction as well.

But just one year away from the 2018 World Cup, Pulisic won't entertain offers outside Germany.

"I mean, when I was little I wanted to play in the Premier League, but now that I'm in the Bundesliga, I'm not planning on a move because that's what I want to do," he added. "I'm really happy there and I'm just kind of going with the flow and I'm happy with it."
