“I have already talked a little with [Bayern] about a new contract,” the midfielder told Bild.
“I still want to stay here one, two more years longer. I am happy, truly happy, to live in Munich. It’s great for my wife and children. If I want a lot more money, I would have to go to China. I had an offer. I’m not interested.”
