I see myself at Bayern next season, that’s why I signed for five and a half years. There has been a lot of news that is not true, but I’m not aware of what comes out in the press, I am aware that I still have to work, learn the language and adapt as quickly as possible to this great team.” However, the young hopeful Lovro Zvonarek (18 years old) was preferred to him at the end of the season and the arrival of Vincent Kompany did not help his case.
