MADRID, May 1 (Reuters) - Barcelona's Dutch midfielder Mark van Bommel said on Monday he had rejected a possible move to Bayern Munich.
'Three or four weeks ago the German side asked the club
about me, but both Barcelona and I said no, because I don't want
to leave,' Van Bommel was quoted as saying on the Marca website.
With Bayern midfielder Michael Ballack reportedly close to
completing a move to Chelsea the Bundesliga leaders have been
linked with Van Bommel, who has not been a regular in Barca's
side this season.
The 29-year-old joined Barca from PSV Eindhoven on a free
transfer last year, and has a contract with Barcelona until
2008.
Barcelona can retain their Primera Liga title on Wednesday,
and face Arsenal in the Champions League final on May 17.
