Bayern Munich Bid For Hleb

Tuesday, March 10, 2009 -- German powerhouse Bayern Munich have reportedly made a bid for the Belarusian international midfielder Aliaksandr Hleb.

Catalan-based sports daily El Mundo Deportivo has reported that the Bavarian giants have tabled a 8 million euro bid for the out-of-favour Aliaksandr Hleb. Hleb was signed by Barcelona in the summer of 2008 from Premier League club Arsenal for 15 million euros.

Hleb, though, has failed to settle at Camp Nou and has started only a handful of matches. He is understandably frustrated and it has now been reported that Bayern would like to sign him in the summer of 2009.

Bayern are thought to be bracing themselves for the departure of their star player Franck Ribery, who has been linked with a number of top European clubs. Hleb is said to replace the French international midfielder.
