Hargreaves to have talks on future

14 April 2012

Owen Hargreaves is to hold talks with Bayern Munich in the next few days to reiterate his desire to sign for Manchester United, according to the player's agent.

Bayern have so far insisted the England international is not for sale, and have no intention of losing another midfielder after seeing Michael Ballack sign for Chelsea this summer. However, Hargreaves' agent Roman Grill believes the player's wishes must also be considered.

"It is not a question of whether the club want to discuss a transfer, it is obvious that they need players like Owen and they don't want him to leave, but on the other hand, the player wants to talk," Grill told PA Sport.

"Owen wants to tell the club how he sees his future."

Hargreaves is now preparing to hold talks with Bayern after returning from international duty with England, although Grill added the 25-year-old midfielder does not want to leave Germany on bad terms.

"Owen has never had any problems with Bayern and has been here for nine years now without any complaints," added Grill.

"The time has now come to evaluate where he is in his career.

"Maybe later (Thursday) he will talk with the coach Felix Magath and see how he views things.

"As he has already said, Owen sees this as an excellent opportunity."
