Ivica Olic will almost certainly depart Bayern Munich in the close season after enduring a troubled 2011-12 campaign.

The 32-year-old has been no more than a squad player this season, with just two goals to his name to date.

His current predicament has forced the forward into making the likely decision of quitting the German giants when the transfer window reopens in a few months.

“It is most likely that I will leave Bayern in the summer, as the club have not yet spoken to me,” Olic told Goal.com in an exclusive interview.

“I would have preferred that they already addressed the issue. I have a family, my children go to school. I cannot wait until May to plan my future. Right now, it looks more likely that I’ll go.”

Olic then explained that his two biggest regrets will be saying goodbye to the club’s supporters, and failing to prove his worth to coach Jupp Heynckes.

“The coach has seen what I can do. I feel that he can count on me more now,” he continued.

“The farewell to the fans is the biggest disappointment. They have seen that I can fulfill my duties here. I’ve delivered good performances recently.”

“I have never asked for a regular place, but we play many matches and (if I play) we can save energy.”

Olic has scored 21 goals in 65 appearances since joining from Hamburg in 2009.
