Bayern holding on to Lahm

Asked about the position of Bayern Munich full back defender and German international Philipp Lahm (24) who did not renew his contract that expires in 2009 (read more here), Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has told in an interview with German sports site Sport1 that in his opinion the player will not leave in the summer and that the club will give the renewal another try:

"Philipp has a contract until 2009 and I assume that he will play for us next season. Regarding to the contract renewal the last word has not yet been said. Together with future manager Klinsmann, we will try to convince Philipp that Bayern is a good club for him."

I copied this post from the "Looking for a Central Defender" thread..."Well with Mourinho being bypassed its pretty clear that Carvalho won't be making his way to Barca any time soon either. I would love to see Barca go after Mexes. But there's no way I see them being able to afford both Mexes and Alves (if they so choose to continue persuing Alves). Also wouldn't mind swapping Eto'o for Bacary Sagna AND cash to fill the right back position should Barca find Sevilla's price for Alves a bit too steep"....and with Man U recently extending the contracts of Wes Brown and Rio Ferdinand I wouldn't mind taking a run at Evra. I thought he did a sensational job against us during the recent Champions League legs. Yes, I know, he is not a central defender per se, but I still believe he would fill a need. His biggest problem has always been his health issues. But when he's on the pitch he's a "shutdown" defender in my book.
