Podolski Gomez Swap In The Works?

The rumours started at the beginning of the week and gathered steam
over the international break, when Bayern Munich and VfB Stuttgart were
alleged to have met informally to discuss the possibility of
player-for-player swap.

VfB's top striker Gomez has been the
subject of transfer rumours since the latter part of last season, and
has more than just on one occasion declared that he is keen to join a
bigger club. Podolski, in the meanwhile, made plenty of headlines when
he claimed that he would never have joined Bayern Munich had he known
that he would have to spend so much time on the bench.

According
to popular German language football site 4-4-2.com, both clubs are
seriously considering the sensational swap, which would see Stuttgart
receive Podolski and a further 10m euro for Gomez. The website goes on
to claim that both players have already agreed to the deal in principle.

More
than a few teams will be watching for the latest with keen interest
with the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Roma, Juventus, Fiorentina,
Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea linked with one or even both
players.
