The Bild am Sonntag reported that Ukrainian international, Anatoliy Tymoshchuk was in Munich on Sunday for a medical, but while Hoeness admits that talks were held in a Munich hotel, he also suggested that the prospective deal is not nearly as advanced as the press reports would suggest.
"We had a very informative chat," said Hoeness when confronted by reporters.
"It is not about fetching the player this winter. We are talking about next summer.
"There are still a few things to clear up and the player would like a bit of time to think."
On the subject of Podolski, Hoeness admitted to ARD television: "Even I can well imagine him leaving at the end of the season.
"If we can find a replacement for him, I believe we will be able to grant his wish of going to Cologne.
"We have six months," he stressed, suggesting that there would be no major activity in this regard during the winter transfer window.
