Ex-Manchester United ace Bastian Schweinsteiger has offers from German clubs with Chicago Fire deal set to expire
Veteran midfielder admits he is keeping his options open as his contract with the MLS side nears its end
BASTIAN SCHWEINSTEIGER has reportedly got several offers on the table to return to the Bundesliga.
The 33-year-old 2014 World Cup-winning German captain is out of contract with MLS side Chicago Fire next month.
And Welt am Sonntag in his homeland claims a number of clubs are in the running for his signature.
Speaking recently to Eurosport, Schweinsteiger admitted he was keeping his future options open.
He said: "I only signed once for a year because I wanted to see what it's like.
"The state of affairs is that I still have this contract, but I have nothing else and I'm open to everything."
The veteran midfielder only moved to the States in March from Manchester United.
He played 25 times for the American side and scored three goals for the club, his last sealing a 1-0 win over Montreal Impact in September.

Schweinsteiger did suffer with several injury problems, but that does not seem to deterring several sides from preparing a deal for him.
He achieved legendary status during his time in his homeland playing for Bayern Munich.
