Bayern Join Race For Hleb
France Football reports that Bayern Munich are weighing up a move for Arsenal's Aliaksandr Hleb.
The German capital club look set to continue the rebuilding of their squad as they plan on mounting a serious European challenge upon their return to the Champions League.
The Belarusian international has reiterated his wish to leave the Gunners on multiple occasions and an array of top-flight clubs is believed to be interested in his services.
Although Barcelona were reportedly leading the chase for the 27-year-old midfielder, Bayern Munich's interest may well hinder his move to Camp Nou.
A transfer to Allianz Arena would represent Hleb's return to Germany after six years of play at VfB Stuttgart, which ended in 2005 when he moved to England.
It is believed that the Bavarian club are ready to put together an offer worth €15 million for Hleb, a figure Arsenal will agree with, according to reports.
