Schweinsteiger wants Neuer at Bayern

(GSM) – Bayern München midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has supported his club for a move to land Schalke 04 goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Schweinsteiger, who himself signed a new contract with the Bavarians until 2016, believes that the arrival of Neuer would strengthen the German champions.

Neuer, who has over a year left on his contract with Die Königsblauen, joining Bayern is an opportunity for Schweinsteiger who would relish playing alongside his national team colleague.

“We don’t have a problem in goal at the moment but with Manuel Neuer, we would have the opportunity to bring the best German goalkeeper to the club,” he told Sport1 television.

“I am always in favour of FC Bayern having the best German players.”

Bayern, who accounted for eight of Germany’s squad at the 2010 World Cup last summer, could increase that tally with the arrival of Neuer.

However, the 24-year-old shot stopper has yet to make up his mind about his future while hinting at the weekend that he “expects to be still playing for Schalke next season.”
