Schalke consider Neuer sale
25 Jun 2009 - 17:36:26
Schalke have admitted that they are prepared to talk to Bayern Munich over a deal for goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
The 23-year-old is currently away on international duty at the European Under-21 Championships in Sweden, having been identified by Bayern as one of their top targets.
Schalke chairman Clemens Tonnies told the Tz newspaper: "Of course a transfer is possible - there is always a pain barrier.
"If somebody breaks through such a pain barrier, then any good businessman would have to consider it."
However, newly-installed Schalke coach Felix Magath is adamant that Neuer is going nowhere, saying: "I am here to be successful and win titles.
"I have the best German goalkeeper and he is a product of this club's youth system. He is the very last player we could consider selling."
Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness had stated earlier this summer: "There is only one goalkeeper who currently interests us.
"This is Manuel Neuer of Schalke and we have informed Schalke of our interest."
