Rumors say that Podolski will announce his transfer to Bayern next week. Apparently the two clubs only have to negotiate about the transfer fee. Bayern don't want to pay the requested 10 million as he can leave next year for just 1 million.

FRANKFURT, May 7 (Reuters) - Champions Bayern Munich hope to make up for the expected loss of Michael Ballack by signing Germany's best young player, Lukas Podolski.


Bayern are resigned to seeing playmaker Ballack move on a free transfer to English champions Chelsea after the Germany captain refused the offer of a new contract.

The 20-year-old Podolski, who plays for relegated Cologne, is top of their list of targets, and after wrapping up a 20th German championship with a week to spare on Saturday they are ready to move in.

"We'll carry out talks with a view to getting him by July 1," Bayern manager Uli Hoeness told reporters in Cologne as the club celebrated a second successive league and cup double.

A deal with Podolski's agent was "as good as agreed," Hoeness added, although the club have yet to speak to Cologne.

Hoeness also confirmed an interest in Daniel Van Buyten, captain of a Hamburg side who have pushed Bayern hard this season and will clinch second place if they avoid defeat at home to Werder Bremen next Saturday.

"He has let it be known that he wants to come to us," Hoeness said of the 28-year-old Belgian centre-back. "Now he has to discuss it with Hamburg."

Hamburg's 4-2 defeat away to Hertha Berlin on Saturday was enough to confirm Bayern as champions, even as they themselves only managed a 1-1 draw away to Kaiserslautern.

It was their sixth championship in the last eight seasons and their third double in the four years since Ballack joined them from Bayer Leverkusen.

Ballack has scored 13 league goals this season from midfield and even if Podolski and Van Buyten come, the Bavarians will still need to find someone who can play such an effective all-round game in midfield.

That man could be Julio dos Santos, the 22-year-old Paraguay midfielder who joined Bayern in January but who has yet to make his Bundesliga debut.

"He's going to have a big impact," Hoeness said.

^^^ very good news, it looks like poldi is coming to bayern then. man if he does, next season will be great. oh and if we can get van buyten too, our defence will be as hard as a rock.

 

[dejsav]

[BayernFan01]

congratulations

lol thanks

 

[Deisler]

Deutsche meister.

Not fair signing Poldi though. I just got his No 10 jersey shiped from Koln.
O well means i'll get another one next season.

Out of curiosity though what number will he opt for? His 10 (Makaay), 20 (Brazzo) or will he tame eather 9 a usuall number for strikers orBallacks number?

 

[BayernBoz]

I could see him wearing 9, at least that's what I gave him when I signed him in my WE9 Masters League team.

 

[Hendrik]

Yeah definitely 9. The new away jerseys with Makaay/10 on the back are already being sold so they can't change.

Let's hope Cologne don't force him to play in the second division again.

COLOGNE, Germany (AP) - Lukas Podolski, called Germany's biggest forward talent, is set to be signed by Bayern Munich. Bayern manager Uli Hoeness said his club, fresh from clinching the Bundesliga title Saturday, has reached an agreement with the 20-year-old FC Cologne player, a likely starter for Germany at the World Cup. "If he doesn't move to us for this coming season, then the one afterward," Hoeness said. Podolski told the Cologne daily Express he feels ready to play for Bayern, despite competition from the likes of Roy Makaay and Claudio Pizarro, and could not spurn an offer from Germany's biggest club. "I'm convinced that I made the right decision. I don't have any fear I won't play," Podolski said. Bayern hopes to sign Podolski by July 1. The forward scored 10 goals in the Bundesliga two years ago - a record for an 18-year-old player. Werder Bremen and Hamburger SV also wanted Podolski.

Here's a nice Podolski compilation: http://s8.simpleupload.de/f7e073e40/Lukas Podolski.mpg.html
He won the goal of the month award for the 8th time in his young career. Now he's tied with Klinsmann.

 

[MaSsiVe]

Because he's probably the world's best at heading the ball?

you obviously haven't seen Mário Jardel play


Congrats to Bayern for the title!

 

[Klobb]

He won the goal of the month award for the 8th time in his young career. Now he's tied with Klinsmann.

great compilation


Whoa at that goal of the month comparison!

 

[ShiftyPowers]

If Podolski ends up somewhere else at the last moment I will be so mad. I'm so glad Bayern is such a great club, it's got to be frustrating being a fan of another German club because you knew you weren't going to get Podolski ahead of Bayern.

 

[BayernFan01]

great song in that compilation

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Lu Lu Lu, Lukas Podolski!!
