Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has categorically ruled out the possibility of striker Lukas Podolski being allowed to leave the club in the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old Germany international is expected to rejoin former club Koln in the near future, but Rummenigge says any deal will have to wait a few months more.

He said: "We have told Cologne very clearly that there is no chance of signing Lukas Podolski in the winter break.

"Lukas will stay at least until summer 2009, his contract runs up until June 2010.

"He will certainly spend the second half of the season at Bayern and after that we will see."
