Bayern Munich striker Ivica Olic has attracted the interest of a number of Serie A sides, the striker's agent has revealed.

The Croatia international has admitted that he could leave the Bundesliga giants in January after growing unhappy over the lack of playing time this season.

Olic has made just eight appearances this term, prompting suggestions that Villarreal and Wolfsburg are keen on securing the 32-year-old's services.

"He has expressed his desire to play more, but he has not said he will leave Bayern," Gordon Stipic told Goal.com.

"We are in talks with the club. I do not rule out that he can extend his contract, which expires in 2012.

"I have spoken with some Italian clubs, but I cannot say which ones. There is the possibility that he will play in a league other than the Bundesliga.

"In the coming weeks, things will be more clear."
