Lahm In Juve Link
Juventus have emerged as the latest big name club reportedly vying for the signature unsettled Bayern Munich defender Philipp Lahm.
The news that Bayern withdrew their offer of a contract extension has created quite a feeding frenzy around the highly-rated 24-year-old full-back, who famously scored the opening goal of the World Cup in Germany against Costa Rica.
Barcelona, Manchester United and AC Milan have all been credited with an interest for the attack-minded defender, who is almost always deployed as left-back despite the fact that he is right-footed.
Bayern supremo Franz Beckenbauer has recently delcared that the exit of Philipp Lahm from the club is by no means definite, despite many signs pointing to the contrary. Lahm’s current Bayern contract runs until 30th June 2009, but has already stated in an interview with 'Stern’ magazine that he wants to move abroad this summer.
