KLOSE OFF TO ROME BUT PODOLSKI STAYS
KLOSE OFF TO ROME BUT PODOLSKI STAYS
Miroslav Klose is on the point of signing for Lazio but his German strike-partner, Lukas Podolski, has promised he will not be joining him in Rome.
Klose, who is out of contract after four years at Bayern Munich, said he would be happy to play in Italy because he needed regular first-team football – something he has not had at the Allianz Arena – in order to keep his international place. Klose was angered that a proposed deal that would have taken him to Lazio in January collapsed because Bayern wanted a substantial fee for a 33-year-old who had only six months left on his contract.
“Now I am in charge of my own destiny,” said Klose, who has never played outside Germany. “I still need to talk to the Lazio directors but I can tell the fans that, if I do come, I won’t let them down.”
However, Podolski has denied reports he will be moving from Cologne to Roma, saying: “I am staying in Cologne. The club is my team and it will be my team in the future – whether I am a player, coach or president.”
