Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster has stated that he has absolutely no interest in signing Bayern Munich striker Lukas Podolski should the German striker become available.In an interview with Marca, the German trainer played down the qualities of Podolski and doubted his ability to make it at a top club thereby ending any talk that he would be looking to bring him to Madrid.
While Podolski is a regular for the German national side, he still struggles for game time with Bayern Munich and for that reason Schuster believes he is not an attractive option for the Spanish giants.
While admitting that the 23 year old had a lot to offer, the Real boss added that performing well for the national team was not everything.
According to Schuster the environment at the Allianz Arena is already like a goldfish bowl, and moving to the Bernabeu would just be a death sentence for the German striker.
“He has a lot to offer, but when he left Köln I had my doubts” Schuster explained.
“He is a modest young man and he needs people around him, who support him. At clubs like Bayern and Real you have to be able to fight for your place” he added.
Schuster believes that his belief in the player’s ability is backed up by the fact that Podolski has only so far managed a role as a reserve at Bayern since his move from Köln.
