Owen Hargreaves will make another plea to the Bayern Munich hierarchy today to be allowed to move to Manchester United even though the German club have already turned down three requests from the England international. The fee on offer of £14m is not considered enough by a club who have already lost Michael Ballack this summer.
...
Thus far, Bayern have been unimpressed by United's offer for a player they can ill afford to lose. They have pointed to the £18.6m fee United paid for Michael Carrick and suggested that Hargreaves is worth at least the same. Bayern are understood to have rejected a player plus cash deal involving Ruud van Nistelrooy earlier this summer before the striker joined Real Madrid.
...
Hargreaves' agent, Roman Grill, who also works in the Bayern Munich press office, was in Manchester yesterday with many of the England players' representatives to discuss the latest player pool arrangements. Hargreaves and his advisers expect Bayern to make a final decision on his future within days, although it will be dependent on United raising their offer.
...
Hargreaves will also talk to the Bayern manager, Felix Magath, in the next few days to try to persuade him to agree to a transfer, although the initial signs do not look good for him. Magath said yesterday: "I am not planning to get rid of any players, particularly not Hargreaves - it has never been an issue."
