Bastian Schweinsteiger’s contract with German champions Bayern
Munich was set to run out at the end of the season, and
renegotiations had stalled in recent weeks.
Several European giants, including Serie A side Juventus and
Spanish champions Real Madrid, were ready to pounce for the Germany
international, who could have been signed on a free transfer next
summer.
However, Bayern have announced this morning on their official
website that Schweini has inked a contract extension that will keep
him at the Allianz Arena until 2012.
Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge briefly commented that the club
were very happy to have settled this important issue.
