Hleb not looking for a summer exit

Asked about the rumours linking Barcelona attacker and Belarus international Alexander Hleb (27) with a move to Bayern Munich (read more here), Oliver Mindtlaff, one of the player's agents, has said in an interview with Catalan radio station RAC 1 that the player isn't thinking about leaving:

"Hleb is not looking for a transfer to Bayern Munich. He's happy at Barcelona and at this moment he's only focusing on working very hard because he wants to show the coach, the team and the fans that he's a great player.

Of course we like Germany and when you talk about the Bundesliga, then Bayern is the best club. I cannot count anymore the number of league titles they have won over the last ten years and Hleb is aware of that because he played against them when he was at Stuttgart.

But he's not looking for a transfer in the summer. Right now, he's playing at Barcelona, which is one of the top clubs in the world and Alexander knows that. Despite everything what happens, he's not unhappy. He wants to prove to everyone that he has a place in the team and besides that, he's delighted about living in Barcelona, a city that is fascinating to him."

I think he want to win some titles, the only one he have in his career is a league title with Bate Borisov and the Intertoto with Stuttgart. Maybe if we win the league and/or the CL he will leave to pursue more playing time.

He said the same thing before he left arsenal last summer. Bayern have won 6 titles in the last 10 years and i'm pretty sure hleb isnt happy to sit on the bench when he was a key member of arsenal's squad.

The good thing about this story is that it makes the Ribery link more plausible. Could we fool Bayern into believing that Hleb will adequately replace Ribery? If we can and with an extra 15 mill quid thrown in, the deal should seem a sweet one for Bayern.

I think Hleb is a good player, but it just is'nt happening for him right now. I can see why we bought him but now it seems as if it was a bad deal. I hope he proves me wrong about this, but it would probably be for the best if he moved on. Perhaps in a deal with Bayern over Ribery. But that seems far-fetched on the other hand.

"Hleb not looking for a summer exit"? Really? But he should! And I don't think it's up to Hleb if he stays or leaves, correct me if I'm wrong.
