Podolski Hints At Bayern Exit

Fri 20 Jun, 12:09 PM


Lukas Podolski has again hinted he could be on his way out of Bayern Munich.

The striker has revealed he will consider his future at the German champions if he is not in new coach Jurgen Klinsmann's first-team plans.

According to reports in Germany, Premier League sides Tottenham and Manchester City, former club Cologne and Italian giants Juventus are all interested in signing the 23-year-old.

Podolski, who is currently with the Germany squad at Euro 2008, told the Bild newspaper: "For me what matters at the moment is the Euros. And afterwards I will think about everything else.

"But if I can't see the possibility of playing under Jurgen Klinsmann, you have to ponder (the future). I am not a footballer to sit on the bench."

Podolski is under contract at the Allianz Arena until 2010, but has struggled to find his feet at Bayern since his big-money move from Cologne in 2006.

He had to settle for a place on the bench for large parts of last season after falling behind international team-mate Miroslav Klose and Luca Toni.
