Munich's "Bayern" defender Luiz Gustavo is afraid of losing his place in the starting lineup approaching the new season and therefore is ready to leave.

The 26-year-old Brazilian ran into trouble when Josep Guardiola brought in Barcelona player Thiago Alcantara, who plays in the same position.

"I am very happy at Bayern and I still have a valid contract. However, I do not know what could happen by August 31," Gustavo told journalists.

Last season, the Brazilian national team player scored 4 goals in 36 matches played in Germany.

According to various sources, Wolfsburg and Arsenal clubs in London are interested in Gustavo's services.
