Bayern Munich management are confident Bastian Schweinsteiger will sign a new contract.
Former Chelsea star Michael Ballack has urged Manchester United to come in for his Germany teammate.
"In regard to Bastian, the most important thing for us is that a new contract is signed," Bayern sporting director Christian Nerlinger told the club's official website.
"The concrete date of seeing him sign new terms is not that important for us. He has told us that we are his first option. We are not in talks just yet, we are not going to put him under any pressure.
"He is an important player for our team, though, and we are looking forward to speaking with him."
