…Bastian Schweinsteiger: “We always said we wanted to sign him for the long term. We’re thinking along similar lines to Philipp Lahm, i.e. a deal until 2016. We regard these players as pillars of the club and figureheads. I think he feels at home in Munich, both professionally and in his private life. I hope he commits to Bayern, because we’re well aware of the interest from Europe’s best clubs. We’re not putting him under pressure, we have a first-class relationship with him, and the lines of communication are open. I’m very confident we can hold onto him.”
