Michael Ballack is confident he will be at Bayern Munich for the 2005/06 season and has intimated he will sign a new contract.
The Germany national team captain is a target for Internazionale and Manchester United and has just 12 months remaining on his present deal.
Bayern want to secure the midfielder on an extension but talks regarding an extension are progressing slow.
The snail's pace at which the negotiations are proceeding has prompted suggestions that Ballack could quit the Allianz Arena before the start of the new season.
But the 28-year-old has attempted to quell any notion of his departure by affirming his desire to play for the Bundesliga champions this term.
"We're all assuming that I'm going to be playing here at least until 2006," said Ballack. "That's why I'm here.
"Bayern have big aims. We want to defend the league championship as well as the German Cup and go far in the Champions League and I want to be part of that."
Bayern have already refuted rumours they will offer Ballack a €10 million yearly salary to keep him in Bavaria.
Ballack concedes that, with his contract expiring in 2006, he is in a strong position to dictate his future but hinted a new deal with Bayern is his likely course of action.
He added: "I'm in the good situation that I can choose.
"It's a very important decision for the club and for me and that's why it should be carefully considered.
"It could take a few days, a few weeks or perhaps a few months.
"But the possibility that I'll extend is high. I feel good here." |
