Freiburg president Fritz Keller has urged young midfielder Matthais Ginter to stay put.
Manchester United and Arsenal are chasing the youngster ahead of the summer market.
Keller said: "In my opinion, [staying at Freiburg] is better for him than sitting on the bench at one of the big clubs.
"He has a long-term contract and for a player of his age it could be interesting to have another year of stability."
