Mark Van Bommel (Bayern Munich)

Mark van Bommel's agent claims that Liverpool have made an enquiry about the Bayern Munich midfielder but that better offers have also come in.

The Dutch star is out of contract in the summer and unlikely to sign a new deal with the reigning German champions.

Van Bommel could leave this month should the right offer come in, and his agent Mino Raiola revealed there is competition for his signature.

"I know about Liverpool's interest, but other offers are currently more interesting," Raiola told Germany's Bild newspaper.

Bayern's Bundesliga rivals Wolfsburg and Serie A leaders AC Milan are understood to be keen on the 33-year-old, and Raiola says he is working on placing his client with a new club.

"I cannot guarantee 100% that he will stay (with Bayern), but there is no rush with negotiations - I just have to do a good job.

"I have got to find Mark the perfect club and we still have enough time for that."

Van Bommel joined Bayern Munich four years ago and became their captain when Oliver Kahn retired in 2008.

However, following the arrival of Luiz Gustavo from Hoffenheim earlier this month, there is more competition for his place at the heart of the midfield and he has hinted that he could be on his way out.

"You never know what the future brings," Van Bommel said.

"I am concentrating on Bayern while my agent takes care of all the rest."

Id love it if he was to join the LFC team, he would improve our midfield endlessly...

hope we snap him up

Doesn't fit NESV's profile.

Still, just think of the experience he would bring to the side.

yes he will be only a couple of mil and he will only be for the short-term

Cole 29, Meireles 27, Gerrard 30, Maxi 30, Kuyt 30, Poulsen 29. More XP? No thanks, we don't need it.

Fair play, but we could always sell on of those oldies for Bommel, hes such a talent!!

That's just the midfield! We are becoming Chelsea slowly but surely. £2.5m? Why not add £3m onto that and bring in a PL XP player in Charlie Adam who's only 25. I can see van Bommel becoming another Poulsen.

Is Charlie Adam really that good?

He's made it into the PL team of the week twice in a row. Jamie Carragher said he ran the games at Anfield and Bloomfield Road on Gillette Soccer Saturday. He'll offer alot more going forward than van Bommel ever will.

Sky Sports: Senior Liverpool representative has said that the club aren't interested in van Bommel.

Bayern Munich have confirmed that Mark van Bommel has signed for AC Milan.

The 33-year-old asked for his contract with the German champions to be terminated in order to secure the deal.

His contract was due to expire at the end of the season and Bayern had already indicated they would not be offering him a new one.

"I am leaving FC Bayern with a heavy heart, but with my head held high," said

the Dutch midfielder in a statement.

"I had four and a half wonderful and successful years here and would like to

express my gratitude to the club and the fans.

"FC Bayern will always have a place in my heart."

The Dutch midfielder had been worried that he would not play a significant part in Louis van Gaal's plans in the second half of the season.

Van Bommel had been linked with moves to English Premier League clubs Tottenham and Liverpool, but he has instead opted to play for AC Milan.

The Bayern statement added: "The Dutch international asked for his contract to become void to transfer for sporting reasons."

Good move for him that.

Lmao, more players aged 30+ for Milan.

Was thinking that too. Just looked AC Milan's team on wiki. If you thought Chelsea's team was old think again...

Do they have a transfer policy inwhich buying "experience players" is a priority?

Not really no they've just failed to get rid of their older players and bring in new ones. e.g the likes of Dida, Seedorf, Nesta are still there!

When was the last time they won a throphy? or title?

The last time they won anything was in 2004...

I think someone with the funds on the AC Milan board needs a quiet word with themselves....

2004? thats a disgrace! and we all think 2006 is a long wait...

didn't milan win the champions leaque final in 07/08 against us

Sorry yeah 2007 was their last trophy but still for a team of that much history it's not good enough

Ahh fu*k yeah they did

Sorry.

They haven't been that good since the match-fixing scandal. They had the best midfield in the world for a while, but Pirlo,Gattuso,Ambrosini,Seedorf are all getting old, not to mention the fact that they sold Kaka.
