Bayern Munich striker Lukas Podolski claims Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus have shown an interest.

Podolski endured a frustrating past season at the Allianz Arena and is considering his future with the German champions.

He is currently impressing with Germany at Euro 2008 and plans to discuss his situation with new Bayern coach Jurgen Klinsmann after the tournament.

Reports have suggested Spurs and Italian giants Juventus would be keen to sign Podolski, if the former Cologne forward decides to quit Bayern.

And the 23-year-old, who was linked with Manchester City in the January transfer window, appears to be tempted by the reported interest.

Very interesting

"I have been informed about both clubs' interest," Podolski told Express.

"That is very interesting for me."

Podolski, however, has reiterated that he will not make any firm decisions on his future until Germany's participation at Euro 2008 is over.

He added: "I really want to reach the semi-final. I will only start thinking about the future after that."

German reports also suggest Podolski could be used as part of a swap deal after Bayern were linked with a bid for Stuttgart's top scorer Mario Gomez.
