Luuk De Jong 'dreams' of Bayern switch



I have a say

Posted Friday, June 01, 2012 by YAHOO Sport

Luuk de Jong has confessed that it would be a dream come true if he were to complete a move to Bayern Munich this summer.

The 21-year-old was in scintillating form for Twente during 2011-12, scoring 25 goals in the Eredivisie to help his side claim a top six finish and book a place in Netherlands' 23-man squad for Euro 2012.

Now currently preparing to make his bow at this summer's European Championship, De Jong admits the idea of plying his trade at the Allianz Arena represents a cherished ambition of his. 

"Bayern Munich are a fantastic club. It is my dream to one day play for them," De Jong told Bild.

Bayern's pursuit of a new striker has been widely documented, following the club's disappointment in the Bundesliga and the Champions League final.

Nonetheless, De Jong insists he is not feeling pressured by mounting interest from other clubs, as he explained he will evaluate a possible departure only if he is presented with an offer.

"I know there are a number of clubs interested in me," he added. "I have a three-year contract in Enschede, but if an interesting offer comes then I will certainly think about it."

De Jong will be vying for a place in attack when Netherlands kicks off its Euro 2012 campaign against 1992 winner Denmark on June 9.
