＝曼聯＝２則壞消息
MANCHESTER, England, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Bayern Munich have again closed the door on Manchester United's hopes of signing England midfielder Owen Hargreaves.
Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness told German SID sports news agency that he had spoken with United chief executive David Gill and had told him: 'You can offer me 50 million euros for Owen Hargreaves but we will not let him go.'
The club's trainer, Felix Magath, said it was high time 25-year-old Hargreaves showed he was committed to his contract, which runs through June 2010.
'He can climb to the top of Mount Everest and say whatever he wants but a contract with Bayern Munich is a contract. Basta! (enough).'
A statement from the Bavarian club declared: 'FC Bayern has informed the player and his agent in no uncertain terms that the contract with the club until June 30, 2010 is to be honoured.'
The statement was released after Ferguson confirmed United's interest in the England midfielder.
'To this day, we have not filter-004ed a transfer with Manchester United or any other club and there will be no future talks over a transfer of Hargreaves,' continued Bayern's statement.
'FC Bayern Munich have informed Manchester United on this day, Friday August 18 2006, that they must end their advances for Owen Hargreaves.''
While Hargreaves' agent Roman Grill on Thursday admitted his client was intent on a move to United and asked for the request to leave to be taken seriously by Bayern, the German champions told the midfielder his contract must be honoured.
'We are honest partners,' Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told the Munchner Merkur newspaper. 'When a player signs a contract, he has rights and duties.
'Owen Hargreaves has the duty, among others, to play here until 2010, and that is the end of it.'
Rummenigge, who earlier this summer spoke of the special relationship between his club and United as he tried to convince the Premiership side to sell Ruud van Nistelrooy, sent a clear message to the Red Devils.
'Owen Hargreaves is an important player for FC Bayern Munich and we are planning with him and other young international players for our future,'' he added.
'That is why we will not even filter-004 a transfer of Owen Hargreaves with any club.

Villarreal have stated that Marcos Senna will not be joining Manchester United as the Spanish side have lost patience with The Red Devils' after their lengthy pursuit of the World Cup midfielder.
United had been chasing the 30-year-old for a large portion of the summer but never managed to close a deal, and now the Yellow Submarines have ended negotiations with Sir Alex Ferguson's side.
The Premiership outfit were given until the end of Friday to tie up a deal but with chief executive David Gill firmly engaged in their attempts to bring England international Owen Hargrevaes to Old Trafford, it seems they have finally missed out on Senna's signature.
The Brazilian-born midfielder would have been allowed to leave the Spanish side should a suitable offer have been tabled, but with no such bid forthcoming Villarreal president Fernando Roig has drawn an end to the prolonged negotiations.
Whilst confirming he had lost patience with United and that Senna would now stay at the club, the Villarreal supremo criticised the English giants for dragging their heels over a deal.
"They've turned his head without bringing the matter to any conclusion," said Roig.
"It isn't good for the relations between the clubs because people should behave in a more correct manner.
"We waited until yesterday for them to finalise the conditions of the move. The player can wait longer but we can't and the case is now closed.
"He will stay and we will have to see if he renews his contract or not." |
