Van Gaal says there is no point in convincing Schweinsteiger to sign a new deal, shall sell him in the summer!

Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal says they should sell Bastian Schweinsteiger in the summer.

Manchester United and Chelsea are chasing the midfielder.

"I think that Bayern Munich is a business and if it is true that 30 million euros have been offered for him, then you cannot just ignore that kind of money," he said.

Bayern are still hoping to convince Schweinsteiger to commit to a new contract, like Philipp Lahm recently did, but Van Gaal says there is no point.

"I would do it differently," he said. "And my clubs have always listened to what I have said, and my clubs have always earned a lot of money."

The 26-year-old has spent his entire career with Bayern and seems to be now pondering a move abroad next summer, a year before his contract is due to expire.
