Tottenham and Manchester City, former club Cologne and Italian giants Juventus are all reportedly interested in signing the 23-year-old.

Up for grabs: Germany's Lukas Podolski.

Podolski, who is currently with the Germany squad at Euro 2008, told the Bild newspaper: 'For me what matters at the moment is the Euros.

'Afterwards I will think about everything else.

'But if I can't see the possibility of playing under Jurgen Klinsmann, you have to ponder (the future).

'I am not a footballer to sit on the bench."

Podolski is under contract at the Allianz Arena until 2010, but has struggled to find his feet at Bayern since his big-money move from Cologne in 2006.

He had to settle for a place on the bench for large parts of last season after falling behind international team-mate Miroslav Klose and Luca Toni.
