Karimi to fulfill Bayern contract after all as Al-Ahli withdraws offer



IRNA - BERLIN, Ali Karimi will remain with Bayern Munich until this summer after his former United Arab Emirates football club, Al-Ahli, withdrew its offer to the Iranian international, Kicker sports magazine reported in its Thursday edition.

Bayern manager Uli Hoeness said earlier this month that the 28-year-old Karimi was free to leave the Bavarian club if he wanted to join Al-Ahli, which had submitted an official transfer request.

Although both clubs had reportedly agreed on Karimi's transfer modalities, Bayern coach Felix Magath vetoed the deal as Munich's midfield has already been depleted by the sudden retirement of ex- German international Sebastian Deisler.

Karimi's contract with Bayern runs out at the end of the season.

Prior to his signing with Munich, Karimi played for Al-Ahli from 2001 to 2005.

Rummenigge has confirmed that Bayern don't intend on extending Karimi's contract, which means that he will definitely leave in summer.

At this point who cares i mean if he was playing it would be a different story but how much has he played this season?

A technically accomplished playmaker, Karimi played 33 Bundesliga games for Bayern over two seasons, scoring three goals in the process.

Started his career at Fatih Tehran before moving on to Persepolis and Al-Ahli in the UAE. Bayern signed him in 2005.
