Real Madrid Eye Podolski For January

Real Madrid are currently looking at the possibility of signing Bayern Munich striker Luca Podolski during the January transfer window according to Marca.

Bundesliga: MSV Duisburg - Bayern Munich, Lukas Podolski (firo)
The German international has already come close to swapping the Bundesliga for the Primera Division and he is admired by Los Blancos coach Bernd Schuster.

Podolski has already asked the German side to leave as he is not getting much playing time in the Allianz Arena.

Jurgen Klinsmann is sticking with Luca Toni and Miroslav Klose up front this season, therefore it is highly unlikely that the Polish-born hit-man will get much chance to shine this term.

Marca claims that the Santiago Bernabeu club are planning to pounce and make their move as soon as the European player market opens its doors to it’s new sales in January.

Podolski is a proven striker at both club and international level and reports suggest that Real may secure his services for around €12m.

However, there is one problem which may cause the Spanish side reconsider their options.

The striker will not be eligible to play for Los Merengues in the Champions League if he plays in that competition for Bayern from now until January.

In any case, Real are likely to prepare the cash and give their coach a late Christmas present.
