​Schweinsteiger relaxed over agreeing new Bayern Munich deal

Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger says he is in no rush to sign a new contract with the Bundesliga champions with still a year to run on his current deal.

The Germany captain is reportedly a target for top Premier League clubs.

"I've agreed with chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge that we'll have a chat this summer to see how the future looks," Schweinsteiger told ARD television.

Rummenigge says he is "not aware" of any approach being made by Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal, although he says Bayern would not stand in Schweinsteiger's way were he to seek a challenge elsewhere.
