Could he be the perfect replacement? i know liverpool have been in contact with BM could it be for him, I really hope so.

Michael Ballack has alerted Europe's top clubs, after admitting that he is very interested in moving abroad in the near future.

The Bayern Munich captain only has a year to run on his current contract and with Ballack harbouring ambitions to play in Europe, Munich may be forced to cash in on their German asset now rather than losing him for free next summer.

The current situation is not troubling Ballack, who is happy to wait until he feels the time is right.

The German revealed: "I'm really relaxed about it all. The hardest decisions in my career are all behind me, like when I was 18 and had to decide whether to stay in the regional league or turn professional.

"Then I had to decide the right time to leave Kaiserslautern for Bayer Leverkusen. Later, the same was the case for the transfer to Bayern Munich.

"I've always made the right decisions so far. I'm now playing at a top European club and still have the chance to play abroad."

Ballack has won the Bundesliga title with Bayern, but the club have never taken the midfielder back to the European exploits of former club Bayer Leverkusen, who lost in the 2001/02 UEFA Champions League final to Real Madrid.

At 28 years of age, Ballack is in his prime and he admits that a move abroad to a top European club is a prospect he relishes.

"There are hardly any (German) players who are abroad that have advised me against taking such a big step.

"It's good for a person's overall development. It would also be very interesting for me."

He would be the perfect replacement for Steive IMO, how much would he cost? one year left on his contract? About 15 million?

Bayern wouldn't let him leave cheap thats for sure, but for 15 million I would bite their :censored:

hand off, he is world class.

Well he will have Didi for company, he would be a fantastic signing or am I dreaming :upside:

With only one year left on his contract, i think he would be cheaper then 15 million when you consider the Owen situation

He's a top player, but I don't like him. Most of his dreams for the future seem to involve combing his hair. Attitude is important, I wouldn't want him to disrupt the dressing room.

I could be made to eat my words, but I don't think he'll come anyway.
