Juve's Schweinsteiger hunt ends
Monday 15 December, 2008

German international Bastian Schweinsteiger has officially renewed his contract with Bayern Munich, ending transfer links with Juventus.

The Old Lady had been tipped to try and lure Schweinsteiger, as he was initially reluctant to commit to a new deal at the Allianz Arena.

With the talented 24-year-old's set to become a free agent next summer, a free transfer was a possibility, but Bayern have convinced him to stay.

Die Roten confirmed this morning with a statement on their website that Schweinsteiger has extended his contract at the club until 2012.

Juve will now have to channel their efforts elsewhere as they look to solve their midfield riddle.

Another Bundesliga star, Werder Bremen's Diego, is believed to be a target.
