Three clubs set sight on Hashemian

IRIB - Three clubs have made concrete offers to sign up Bayern Munich reserve striker Vahid Hashemian during the winter break, a top Bayern official told the bi-weekly Kicker sports magazine Thursday.

"There are three serious inquiries for him (Hashemian)," Bayern vice-chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said.

Hashemian's former club VFL Bochum is apparently the front-runner to re-sign him, according to Rummenigge.

Hashemian was a fan favorite in Bochum during the 2003/4 season, scoring 16 goals in 32 matches.

The former pas forward who has also been linked to fellow Bundesliga club Hertha Berlin, has failed to make an impact at Bayern Munich following his 2 million transfer from Bochum last summer.

Hashemian has yet to score a goal for Bayern and has only played in three of Bayern's 13 Bundesliga games so far this season.
