Bayern Munich are confident that midfield ace Bastian Schweinsteiger will commit his long-term future to the club in the next few days.

The 24-year-old Germany international had been strongly linked with a move to Juventus next summer, with his current Bayern contract running out at the end of the season.

However, the club's general manager Uli Hoeness is now all but certain that Schweinsteiger will opt to stay put.

"We are close to having him stay with us," Hoeness told the club's official website.

"There are one or two details to clear up, but I think we will be able to make a clear statement about it in the next few days."
