Transfer news:Bayern Munich general manager Uli Hoeness has said Owen Hargreaves will not leave the club during the January transfer window, although he has left the door open for the England midfielder to move on in the summer.

Hargreaves (25), has been linked with Manchester United since the World Cup, but Hoeness insists the player will see out the season in Bavaria.

Hoeness told the Welt am Sonntagnewspaper that Hargreaves "will definitely not be leaving this winter. Beyond that, we will see."

For his part, the player is keeping his cards close to his chest.

"Enough has been said about it, and I do not wish to add anything," Hargreaves said.

He is recovering from a broken leg and hopes to be playing again soon. Despite being unable to return to full training on Friday, Hargreaves was able to jog lightly.

"I am delighted to be able to run again," he said. "It is great to have football boots on."

Earlier this week, club president Franz Beckenbauer claimed Bayern would listen to a €30 million offer for the player.

He said: "We are currently building a team and at some time the question will arise as to whether Owen is indispensable. In any case, we have all the trump cards in our hands."

Rather than selling, Hoeness is more interested in buying at present having completed a deal to bring Germany talent Jan Schlaudraff from Alemannia Aachen to Bavaria for next season.

Hoeness has vowed that Bayern will soon recapture their old clout in the transfer market after losing key men like Michael Ballack recently.

"We have lost six really strong players recently and have only partly replaced them," he added. "In the next transfer period, we will catch up."

However, Hoeness admitted Bayern were still unable to match several other leading competitors in the market.

"How do we claw in the likes of Barcelona, Chelsea or Manchester United?" he asked.

"We have got to be cleverer. That can only be with youth development, although that doesn't mean we cannot buy a top experienced player as well."
