Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has confirmed that the Bavarians are interested in signing Germany international Manuel Neuer from Schalke.

The Bundesliga giants are continually linked with a move for the highly rated shot-stopper, and Hoeness has now made it clear that Neuer is indeed one of the candidates to strengthen Bayern this summer.

He told Sport1: “We haven’t made any signings yet. We all know that we can’t do any transfer business now the market’s closed.

“This doesn’t stop us from making plans for the future, though, and we’re thinking about the capture of a new goalkeeper among other things. I can reveal that Schalke’s Manuel Neuer is one of the candidates to join us.”

The 25-year-old has also been linked with Premier League table toppers Manchester United, but he recently revealed that he’s not sure whether a move abroad would benefit his career.
