Bundesliga - Werder Bremen sporting director Klaus Allofs has admitted he would be prepared to listen to offers for striker Miroslav Klose.

Bremen had previously insisted that Klose would see out the rest of his contract at the Weserstadion after learning that the player had held secret talks with Bayern Munich bosses in a Hannover hotel, though it now appears a deal could be reached this summer.

"If a [telephone] call comes, then I won't hang up. I would listen to everything," Allofs admitted.

"But that is true only for a certain time. When we decide that time has come, no more discussions will be held. Even if Bayern want to negotiate one more time, that won't interest us any more."

Klose, whose contract is due to expire at the end of next season, was initially rumoured to be looking for a move abroad, though now appears to have his heart set on Bayern Munich.

He was jeered by the club's fans when news of the secret talks with Bayern broke, and with Markus Rosenberg having fitted in so well since arriving from Ajax in the January transfer window, the club could offload him an collect a transfer fee.
