Bayern Munich have ruled out a January sale for Bastian Schweinsteiger. Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says Schweinsteiger will not be going anywhere before his contract expires in 2012.
Schweinsteiger has been linked with a big-money move to Manchester United in the British press in recent days and has previously been connected to Chelsea.
But speaking at Bayern's AGM, Rummenigge said: "We will not be letting the player go before his contract ends in 2012 in any case.
"Bastian has developed a great deal in the last two years and I am very optimistic that we and his agents can find an agreement.
"Our aim is to give Bastian a long-term contract."
