Werder Bremen perform u-turn on Klose

BERLIN (AFP) - Werder Bremen admitted in the German press on Sunday they are ready to discuss a multi-million euro transfer with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich for German international striker Miroslav Klose.

Until now, Bremen have insisted they would not let Klose, the top goal-scorer at last year's World Cup, leave for another German club until his contract expires at the end of June 2008.

But Bremen mananger Klaus Allofs told German newspaper Bild am Sonntag he is open to the possibility of a deal - reported in the German press to be between 12 and 15 million euros - with Bayern Munich for Klose.

"If I get the call, I am not going to hang up, because I want to hear what they have to say to me," said Allofs.

"It is necessary to look at the situation as a whole and to make a final judgement that is in the best interests of the club."

But Allofs pointed out that they will only consider offers for Klose he feels are appropriate.

"At some point, it will be necessary to stop negotiations and move on, even if Bayern again wants to negotiate."

With Klose reported to be set to join Bayern on a free transfer after his Bremen contract expires next year, it seems just a matter of time before Klose wears the famous red shirt.

"I am convinced Klose will join us on a free transfer in July 2008, perhaps it will be sooner," said Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

Klose, 28, has had a dip in form this year, only scoring two goals in the Bundesliga between January and April, and got into hot water with Bremen for meeting Bayern bosses in April behind his club's back.

But there has been some doubt in the German press who Klose will play for next season and even German international Torsten Frings pointed out on Saturday that he doubted that "Klose wants to stay in Werder".

Klose has been at Bremen since 2004 and has scored 97 goals in 209 Bundesliga games and was the league's top-scorer in the 2005-06 season.

But Bayern are re-building their squad after their worst season in ten years and are set to officially announce the arrival of Italian World Cup winner Luca Toni and are hunting French midfielder Franck Ribéry.

I think 12M it's enough for Klose..

[simaozinho200]

i never thought of him to be bad player just hadn't had the opprotunity

[simaozinho200]

he would be a good signing but remeber toni just became a big name in his late 20's so it takes players longer to develope than others

[D-Kin]

It looks like Ujfalusi is off to Sevilla anyway.

[Vargas_4]

I don't get it. Why are we tying to sign even more defenders? I was doubtfull for Jansen's signing. With him it would be; Lahm, Jansen, Lell, Van Buyten, Ismael, Lucio, Sagnol, Gorlitz... That's 8 defenders. How many do we need? If we pile up in defenders, we might lose some important ones.

[BlackNess]

Yeah .. 12M it's enough

[Oliver_Kahn]

Van Buyten seems to be leaving, Gorlitz and Lell's future is uncertain.
Plus, Jansen is a great defender

Werder Bremen sporting director Klaus Allofs has admitted he would be prepared to listen to offers for striker Miroslav Klose.


Bremen had previously insisted that Klose would see out the rest of his contract at the Weserstadion after learning that the player had held secret talks with Bayern Munich bosses in a Hannover hotel, though it now appears a deal could be reached this summer.

"If a [telephone] call comes, then I won't hang up. I would listen to everything," Allofs admitted.

"But that is true only for a certain time. When we decide that time has come, no more discussions will be held. Even if Bayern want to negotiate one more time, that won't interest us any more."

Klose, whose contract is due to expire at the end of next season, was initially rumoured to be looking for a move abroad, though now appears to have his heart set on Bayern Munich.

He was jeered by the club's fans when news of the secret talks with Bayern broke, and with Markus Rosenberg having fitted in so well since arriving from Ajax in the January transfer window, the club could offload him an collect a transfer fee.

Miro Klose to Bayern

[BlackNess]

Jansen i a Great player ..
but we need a strong CB witch would cover for Lucio.

[Oliver_Kahn]

Exactly, van Buyten isn't that defender, Boularouz might be
