Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz
Rummenigge still hopes to land Chelsea defender Jose Bosingwa as
the two clubs remain in "serious contact".
Bayern have turned their noses up at the Blues' asking
price for the 26-year-old Portugal full-back, but Rummenigge has
not ruled out a renewed bid.
"We are convinced about Bosingwa and that he would fit in really
well at FC Bayern," he told Sport Bild magazine.
"I don't think the book has been closed on this issue yet."
Rummenigge added that he remains in "serious contact with
Chelsea" regarding the former Porto player, who has a contract with
the London club until 2011.
Bosingwa has been earmarked as the man to take the right-back
position which has never been adequately filled since Willy Sagnol
started suffering from an Achilles tendon problem that brought a
premature end to his career last season.
Owen Hargreaves and Hasan Salihamidzic were both tried in the
role but have both since moved on to new clubs.
Christian Lell and Massimo Oddo also failed to impress there
last term, making the signing of a tried-and-tested full-back the
priority for new Bayern coach Louis van Gaal.
