Bayern Munich have confirmed that they are looking to extend Martin Demichelis' contract at the Allianz Arena.

Speaking after his club's UEFA Champions League victory over Steaua Bucharest, Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge revealed that he is hoping to keep the Argentina international for two further years until 2012.

"He is a great player with a great character and is the guarantee for our defence," Rummenigge told Kicker.

The 27-year-old midfielder has undergone a "sensational development" during his time at Bayern and is now one of the club's most important players, the former Germany international continued.

Demichelis, who joined the Bundesliga champions in 2003, has already indicated that he would like to stay and talks are set to continue in the near future.

"We have already come quite a long way," concluded Rummenigge.
