Representatives have arrived in Germany to start negotiations with Munich for the acquisition of Bastian Schweinsteiger, reports "Goal.com".
On Thursday, the management of the English club spoke with the player's agents, and over the weekend started negotiating with "Bayern".
Schweinsteiger's contract with the Bavarian team is valid until the summer of 2012, but negotiations for its extension are currently unsuccessful.
Although the "Bayern" board has publicly stated several times that the midfielder will not be sold, even if he does not extend his contract, it is said that the Germans could be tempted by a compensation of more than 20 million euros.
