IRNA -
Bayern Munich are contemplating of moving
Ali Karimi to another club by the end of this month, the kicker football
magazine reported Tuesday.
"We are thinking about whether Ali Karimi can already change (teams) in
January," Bayern Munich manager Uli Hoeness was quoted as saying in
Dubai where the German Bundesliga record champs are holding their annual
winter break training camp.
However a likely transfer has to be discussed with Bayern coach Felix
Magath, added Hoeness.
The 28-year-old Karimi has been reportedly linked to several clubs in
the United Arab Emirates.
Prior to his engagement at Bayern, the Iranian international played for
UAE's Al-Ahli from 2001 through 2005.
A rarely used Bayern reserve player, Karimi has yet to score a goal in
this Bundesliga season.
Munich media reported earlier that Bayern won't extend Karimi's contract
at the end of this Bundesliga season.
Magath who had great hopes for Karimi when he signed him in 2005, has
been frustrated by the Iranian player's unwillingness to learn the
German language in a bid to be able to adjust better within the team.
