I think he would fit in at Bayern.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bayern have also set their sights on central defenders, and according to reports from Kicker, Manchester City&#8217;s Jerome Boateng and Benedikt Hoewedes of Schalke are among the players under consideration.<\/p>\n<p>Heynckes is also said to be keen to bring Arturo Vidal with him to Munich, although Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voeller has issued a hands-off policy on the 23-year-old. Elsewhere in midfield, Kaiserslautern&#8217;s Ivo Ilicevic is tipped to come as a replacement for Hamit Altintop should the 28-year-old decide not to extend his current deal.<\/p>\n<p>The Turkish midfielder, as well as veteran striker Miroslav Klose, are both expected to leave Munich in the summer as they hope to earn first-team playing time. Additionally, Andreas Ottl is closely linked with Hertha Berlin and is expected to transfer out of the club as well.<\/p>\n<p>Should Klose leave, Bayern may pursue other options in attack, with Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov, valued at \u20ac15m, thought to be a potential signing for the Bavarian giants.<\/p>\n<p>In the very likely event that Neuer joins Bayern, current first-choice goalkeeper Thomas Kraft is expected to leave. With Hans-Joerg Butt considering his retirement, should Bayern lose Kraft they will need to sign a back-up in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>With the 2012 Champions League final set to take place in Munich&#8217;s Allianz Arena, Bayern are prepared to do anything possible to reach the prestigious match.<\/p>\n<p>Heynckes has made clear his wishes in the transfer window, telling Bild: &#8220;The club must now take action.&#8221; <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/201ed65bget.media_941-150x90.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>View post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/foreign.peacefmonline.com\/sports\/201103\/149503.php\" title=\"Coentrao, Neuer, Vidal, Boateng, Ilicevic &amp; Berbatov: Bayern Munich To Splash \u20ac60m On Summer Signings\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coentrao, Neuer, Vidal, Boateng, Ilicevic &amp; Berbatov: Bayern Munich To Splash \u20ac60m On Summer Signings<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> When Jupp Heynckes takes over as Bayern Munich coach on July 1, he will have \u20ac60 million available to spend on transfers, according to a report from Bild.
