Ukraine veteran Anatoliy Tymoshchuk says he will probably leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season.
The experienced midfielder s contract with the Bundesliga club ends in June, and he has admitted he is unlikely to ink a new deal due to a lack of regular first-team football at the Allianz Arena.
I think that I will move on this summer, the 34-year-old was quoted as saying by Kicker.
Time and time again, I get the feeling that I will get playing time, and then it doesn t happen. It s rather annoying.
Tymoshchuk joined Bayern from Zenit St Petersburg in 2009, but has never been able to secure regular first-team action at the Allianz Arena.
Ukraine s most-capped player with 127 appearances, Tymoshchuk he has made just 12 Bundesliga appearances…

Two of the most decorated European sides at Under-21 level will square off in the semi-final of the European Championship in Poland, but they head into the game in contrasting moods. While Spain won all three group games, Italy enjoyed a controversial 1-0 triumph over Germany to squeeze into the final four.
Spain U21
Four-time winners Spain arrived at the tournament finals in Poland high on spirits and with a star-studded squad, so no wonder they were made the main candidates for the coveted trophy.

Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce feels he did a fantastic job at West Ham as he prepares to return to his former club in the Premier League on Saturday.
Allardyce was in charge of the Hammers for four seasons from 2011 to 2015, leading them to promotion from the Championship before a trio of mid-table finishes set against the backdrop of sustained opposition from supporters over his playing style.
He now returns to Upton Park with his team sitting second bottom of the table, but just one point adrift of safety after picking up four points from two games against Liverpool and Manchester United.
And Allardyce has spoken of his pride at what he achieved at West Ham, claiming it was only a small minority of supporters who opposed him.
Overall, the vast major…

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas says Yerry Mina would prefer to play for his side over Everton, claiming the promise of Champions League football gives them the edge over the Barcelona defender s other suitors.
Mina had talks with Everton about a move to the Premier League but the 23-year-old said he would prefer to fight for his place at Camp Nou after only arriving from Palmeiras in January.
Aulas, however, is confident he can do a deal to bring the Colombia international to the Groupama Stadium.
Speaking ahead of his side s pre-season friendly with Huddersfield, Aulas discussed transfer targets and told reporters: I have in my mind one example where we are in a battle with Everton.
I don t think they play in the Champions League. There is in…
According to , as relayed by , Lazio are interested in signing Arsenal central defender David Luiz in the summer of 2021.

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has warned his team-mates that opponents will try to derail their quadruple bid with negative tactics.
City claimed a 2-0 win over Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday to reach the FA Cup semi-finals for the third season in succession – the first time they have achieved the feat since 1931-32 and 1933-34.
The victory, courtesy of goals from Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne, was hard fought as a defensive-minded Everton side packed men behind the ball, happy to surrender the majority of the ball to City.
Indeed, Everton s total possession of 25.9 per cent was their lowest since a fixture against Pep Guardiola s side in March 2018 (18 per cent).
Midfielder Gundogan praised City s patience against the Toffees and pr…
Dango Ouattara scored and was later sent off as Burkina Faso advanced to the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals with a 1-0 win over Tunisia.
Ouattara s first international goal means Kamou Malo s men will now face Senegal or Equatorial Guinea, who meet on Sunday, in Wednesday s last-four tie, although the Lorient forward will be absent after receiving a red card for a heavy aerial challenge.
Wahbi Khazri went close with a free-kick as Tunisia dominated much of the first half, yet it was Burkina Faso who went in at the interval ahead.
Ouattara latched onto Ibrahim Toure s pass, checked back inside two Tunisia defenders and fired a left-footed strike past Bechir Ben Said three minutes into stoppage time.
Tunisia thought they would be given the chanc…
Jose Mourinho feels ready for a big celebration and wants Roma to give him an excuse – but he is still not sure what will qualify as success this season.
The former Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter and Manchester United boss has taken on a tough assignment in the Italian capital, as he bids to turn Roma into a team that can compete for trophies.
They are some way off being competitive in terms of the Serie A title race, just like Tottenham in his previous job were unable to mount a sustained Premier League challenge.
Mourinho was reminded on Friday of how he and his Tottenham coaching staff showed euphoria when qualification was secured for the second-tier Europa League in July 2020, prompting the question of whether he would celebrate in the same manner should Rom…
All eyes will be on Milan this Friday to see if Clarence Seedorf s men can bounce back from defeat to Napoli against Bologna at San Siro.
Since taking over in January, the Dutchman had guided Milan to two wins and a draw in Serie A before Napoli overturned them 3-1 at San Paolo on Saturday.
Gokhan Inler s goal and a Gonzalo Higuain brace ensured Napoli of the points on Saturday, but Seedorf will be confident his side can get back on track against a Bologna outfit just four points off the relegation zone.
Sunday s 2-1 victory over Torino ended a run of five matches in the league without a win for Davide Ballardini s men who have failed to beat Milan since August 2008 when goals from Marco Di Vaio and Francesco Valiani handed Bologna the points.
Seedorf handed debu…
