Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge insists the
club will do everything in its power to hold onto Germany
midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger.
The 24-year-old reportedly turned Newcastle down last month but,
after being quoted this summer as saying that “England does have a
good appeal” and that he may make a move this year, Manchester
United and Chelsea were both linked with a move.
And, with only one year left on his current deal, Bayern could
face a battle to hold onto one of their prized assets –
particularly as he is believed to have rejected an extension
earlier in the summer.
But Rummenigge told the German press: “We will try to keep
him.
“We will hold contract talks in the autumn as agreed.”
Juventus have also been credited with an interest in the
player.
