Schweinsteiger suggests Bayern exit
Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has hinted at a move away
from Bayern Munich by stating he is not "married" to the Bundesliga
champions.
Schweinsteiger, one of the stand-out performers at the 2010 World
Cup, has a contract at the Allianz Arena until 2012 which he
insists he is happy to honour but the 25-year-old also concedes a
move abroad would excite him.
"I have a contract with FC Bayern until 2012 and I really respect
the club and the contract," he told Bild. "But I cannot say that I
am married to FC Bayern. That would not be fair to the fans."
Schweinsteiger added: "I know that there is something great at FC
Bayern. We didn't reach the Champions League final without good
reason - and to win it is my ambition.
"The Bundesliga is great, and has become more important, but if I
were to move on then, of course, the idea of going abroad is what
excites me."
