Bayern Want Confed Star Poldi in 2006

German champions Bayern Munich want to recruit German international Lukas Podolski after the 2006 World Cup, vice-president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said on Monday. Cologne striker Podolski, 20, was earmarked to join Bayern in June 2007 but Bayern want to bring forward the deal following the marksman's impressive performances at the Confederations Cup. "Bastian Schweinsteiger has shown that a 20-year-old can play at a high level and Lukas Podolski is a player of this caliber," Rummenigge told Munich's tz newspaper. "Podolski should collect experience in the Bundesliga this season and then we will see after the 2006 World Cup." Podolski scored twice in the Confederations Cup with a header in the 3-2 semi-final defeat against Brazil underlining his predatory instincts in front of goal.
