Gladbach midfield starlet signs three-year deal

Alexander Baumjohann will join Bayern from Borussia Mönchengladbach this summer, it was officially confirmed on Tuesday. The 22-year-old, who moves on a free transfer, has inked a deal binding him to the Munich club until 30 June 2012.

Transfer target Tymoshchuk

Regardless of the Ukraine international’s actual arrival date in Munich, Hoeneß reckons the defensive midfielder will line up in the same squad as Mark van Bommel. “I personally continue to believe we’ll succeed in keeping Mark here in Munich. That’s what we’ve always been aiming for, and I’ve heard no suggestion it’s not possible,” Hoeneß said. The club captain is out of contract at the end of the season. Bayern have offered the 31-year-old Netherlands international a one-year extension to his current deal.

Starlet out on loan until June 2010

Bayern starlet Toni Kroos is leaving Munich on an eighteen-month loan switch to Bundesliga rivals Bayer Leverkusen. The 19-year-old, the youngest-ever player to appear for Bayern in the German top flight, will be officially placed on the transfer list on Monday before inking a loan move to the Rhineland outfit until 30 June 2010.
