Bayern Munich reject Nigel de Jong link

Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has rejected reports that his club plan to bid for Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong.

The Dutch international has been the subject of mounting speculation with just 12 months left on his contract at the Etihad Stadium.

Rummenigge told Sport Bild: "We know that De Jong's agent offers him everywhere.

"But it is not true to say there is interest from FC Bayern."

De Jong enjoyed a previous spell in the Bundesliga with Hamburg and has found his opportunities with City limited in the last 18 months.
