Bayern Munich forward Jan Schlaudraff has confirmed he has no plans to leave the club in the January transfer window.

The Germany international joined Bayern from Alemannia Aachen at the end of last season but has been unable to break into the first team with Luca Toni and Miroslav Klose on fine form for the league leaders.

Media reports have linked the 24-year-old with a move to either champions Stuttgart or Borussia Dortmund, but the player insists his future lies at the Allianz Arena.

When asked about his future at the Bavarian club, Schlaudraff told kicker magazine: “I hope I stay even longer.”

Schlaudraff is a good young talent i 'm glad he has expressed he wants to stay.

yeah, but if doesn't start getting chances then he is being waster at Bayern. I'm surprised he has not being used more since he played some really good games during the winter break...I hope he gets to play against Anderlecht now that we are 99.99% sure of going through...

I agree. If he doesn't play against Anderlecht (which I think he won't play) I don't know when Hitzfeld is going to use him. He didn't start a game, not even in the DFB Cup (correct me if I'm wrong) and he played only a frew minutes in competitive matches.

I feel sorry for Schlaudraff. He isn't even being included among the reserves for quite a number of consecutive matches.

Perhaps Klinsmann has expressed a wish to retain him? At least sitting on our bench (occasionally) means he isn't scoring aganist us for some oppostion team.

Whatever the reason(s), it's difficult to make a case for him taking a starting position ahead of Luca or Miro?

Also podolski it is hard to start over poldi and then luca or miro

Bayern Munich forward Jan Schlaudraff has asked the club for a transfer away from the club in a bid to find regular football.

Schlaudraff’s days at the Allianz Arena look to be numbered after asking the Bavarian giants for a move.

The former Alemannia Aachen striker joined Bayern in the summer on a three year contract, but wants to leave after seeing his first team opportunities severely limited this season.

“Jan has asked us for a transfer, and we have agreed to his request” explained Bayern manager Uli Hoeneß.

Schlaudraff wants to stay in the Bundesliga and there is sure to be plenty of interest in the forward, who broke into the German international squad last season.

Since his free transfer from Aachen, the 24 year old has only made five league appearances for Bayern.

Hannover have reportedly already made an enquiry for the player.

I don't blame Jan. I blame Hitzfeld for never giving him a chance. He was the best striker during the winter training camp. He should have been given a chance to start and be able to prove himself.

I am surprised that he didn't ask for a transfer earlier. Well he has patience. I also blame Hitzfeld for not giving him a chance, not even a decent quarter of an hour in the league! Maybe he could have played alongside Toni when Klose and Podolski weren't at their best and prove that he is also a dangerous and talented striker. Bayern didn't handle this transfer properly. They brought him in for a free transfer but nonetheless paid wages. He has been at Bayern for only a year but Bayern are already eager to sell him even though it is for his own good. Maybe under Klinsmann he would have a more active role in the team.

I'm also surprised it didn't happen earlier. Bayern rushed into buying him (probably on the strength of his performance in Aachens cup victory against us?).

He never showed enough and was not given enough opportunity to make a firm opinion as to how good he really is - perhaps a case of a big fish in a small pond at Aachen but found wanting at a team like Bayern?

Hannover have been mentioned as a possible destination, if so they are fast becoming a recycling club for our mis-fits (Hashemain, Ismael....)

i thought we'd agreed his transfer before the cup match??

You may be right kev! Just shows how little impact Jan has actually made since his arrival.

Also he has not really settled in Munich from all accounts (trouble with his accomodation and not a fan of beer and wurtst!)

What? Schlaudraff has declared that he wants to go, cause he does not play in Bayern, Hannover, Stuttgart, Hertha are showing interest on Schlaudraff..

Yes, but imagine that Podolski got his chance very late, and Podolski is much better than Schlaudraff.. but Schlaudraff has quality too..

But, i wonder why Hitzfeld said before the second round start, that Schlaudraff was the 3rd striker, and now Podolski is playing regularly..

I think Schlaudraff did something wrong, like dont training to full potential or something like that, cause in winter he was scoring nice goals in the friendlys..
