Bayern Munich midfielder
Bastian Schweinsteiger has revealed the
Premier League is his preferred destination if he leaves the recently crowned
Bundesliga champions in the summer.
The 25-year-old, who has been named in Germany's provisional World Cup squad, has enjoyed a solid campaign this term as Bayern regained their domestic title and progressed to the Champions League final.
But despite such success, he admits he does not know if he will remain with the club after the tournament in South Africa.
The attacking midfielder is still disappointed but what he perceives to be the fickle nature of the fans at the Allianz Arena, pointing out that he wasn't always so popular when things weren't going so well for the club at the start of the season.
"It was often the case in the first half of the season that I would mis-place a pass in the first 20 minutes and I would be whistled at immediately," Schweinsteiger told German newspaper
Bild.
"There were even whistles for me at the annual general meeting and that hurt.
"You never know what happens after a World Cup. I am really happy that we played such a good season, but to say now that I will always play for Bayern Munich would be wrong.
"Then if you do actually move, it would be an unfair proclamation to make to the fans."
With his future so uncertain, Schweinsteiger was willing to admit that if he were to leave, a move to the Premier League would be his preference, citing the supportive nature of the fans as a great attractions.
"When things were not going well, we were being whistled at immediately in the Allianz Arena, but that sort of thing does not happen in England," he added.
"I would like to have the whole stadium behind us even in difficult times."
