Striker could see out contract; Usami does not want to leave on loan

Out-of-favour Bayern Munich striker Ivica Olic will not necessarily look to force a move away from the club in January. The Croatia international will be out of contract at the end of the season and it has been reported he will move in the winter. But Olic insists he is in no hurry to leave the club and thinks it may be better to wait for the summer of 2012. He said in BILD: "I don't have a problem to fulfil my contract, so it is not a must for me to go this winter. "Perhaps it will be better to stay up to the summer. It is also more convenient for me for family reasons." Meanwhile, Japanese teenager Takashi Usami is adamant he does not want to leave Bayern on loan amid reports he will make a temporary transfer to another Bundesliga club. The 19-year-old, who only switched to the Allianz Arena from J-League outfit Gamba Osaka in the summer, told Mainpost of the speculation: "I have been taking notice of this just from the newspaper reports. "At first, I was bewildered to see this being reported as fact, because I am not keen on a move away from Bayern Munich."
