In-form striker Miroslav Klose hinted yesterday about leaving Bayern Munich with his contract set to expire next June to help him achieve his goal of playing at Euro 2012.

The 32-year-old scored twice in Germany’s 3-0 win over Turkey on Friday to put his country top of Group A in their Euro 2012 qualifying campaign with three wins from three.

Remarkably, Klose has scored five goals for Germany in just three Euro 2012 qualifiers this season, but has failed to find the net in seven games for Bayern Munich and has hinted he is prepared to leave.

“I am open to anything: whether I get a contract extension or change clubs, I can see myself playing for another club in the Bundesliga,” Klose said.

“The important thing for me is to remain playing internationally, as playing at Euro 2012 is my goal,” he added having also played for both Kaiserslautern and Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga.
