The Bayern Munich chairman revealed that both http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Van-Buyten-c10095 could extend their stay at Allianz Arena before the end of the season.
Striker Ivica Olic and defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Van Buyten are both set to stay at Allianz Arena after the ongoing season ends. This was revealed by club chairman, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, in a recent interview. He claimed that the duo have
shown interest in signing an extension to their current contracts and negotiations could begin soon.
Olic’s future has been under widespread speculation since the player returned from injury and there were reports that a move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881 had already been agreed for the summer. The striker had himself admitted that he would
want to leave in search of regular playing time.
Rummenigge is hopeful that both Olic and Van Buyten would sign extensions as their current deals are set to expire at the end of the season. He insisted that there has been interest from the players to stay and the club also wants
to keep its key members.
“I believe that Olic and Van Buyten will stay. Both of them have shown an interest in staying and they have shown good character, too,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, the chairman insisted that Mario Gomez is going nowhere and claimed that the former Stuttgart man has a great future at Allianz Arena in the years to come. He brushed aside rumours that linked the forward with
a move to the English Premier League in the summer.
“I am cautiously optimistic that Mario will play for Bayern Munich for a long time to come,” he continued.
However, Rummenigge refused to comment on the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521 situation. He insisted that the player and the club will soon find a solution to the misunderstandings in the past and is confident that the Dutch international will honour
his deal at the club.
“We are patient and we will find a solution,” he concluded.
Bayern Munich are set to face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Basel-c39079 in the first-leg of the UEFA Champions League knock-out stage clash at the St. Jakob Park on Wednesday, February 22.
