Schweinsteiger offers more encouragement to Chelsea, Man Utd delaying contract talks

Bastian Schweinsteiger has cast further doubt on his future at Bayern Munich. Having already openly touted himself to Chelsea and Manchester United this week, Schweini has decided to put off any meetings with Bayern over new contract talks.

BILD says Schweinsteiger, whose current deal expires in 2012, sees no urgency in holding contract talks and will now wait until the New Year.

The 26-year-old is desperate to win the Champions League with Bayern and would look at "developments" in the coming months, including January reinforcements, to see if the club's ambitions match his own before making a decision on whether to extend his contract.
