Bayern Munich striker Lukas Podolski has again vented his frustration at his club and brought a talk of a transfer back to the top of the agenda.

The Germany international, whose three goals at Euro 2008 have helped his national team to the semi-finals, made only eight Bundesliga starts last season and has repeatedly admitted his desire to play regular first-team football.

He feels his chances may be limited next season too, and hinted that a return to his home-town club Cologne, where he began his career, would be an ideal solution.

The star pairing of Miroslav Klose and Luca Toni are ahead of Podolski in the pecking order at the Allianz Arena, while Bayern's pursuit of Stuttgart striker Mario Gomez is likely to see the 23-year-old pushed further out of the frame.

"I have not had the feeling that the club has faith in me, and I still don't feel that now," Podolski told the Bild am Sonntag.

"The important thing is that I play and that was rarely the case recently in the Bundesliga.

"Anything is now possible. I have a contract with FC Bayern, but everybody knows that I have a particular relationship with FC Cologne because that is my home-town club.

"I have always proven my qualities with the national team over the last two years, but you cannot always please everybody."

Podolski revealed he has had "several" offers so far, but is not considering his future until after the European Championships.

"All I am thinking about right now is Euro 2008," he said. "I am optimistic that we can win the title."
