Berlin (AP) - Javi Martinez leaves all options open after leaving Bayern Munich.
After nine years with the German record champions, he wants to make the decision about his future in his Spanish homeland Ayegui this summer.
“I'm open in all directions and looking for the best option for me,” said the 32-year-old in the “Kicker” interview (Monday).
He doesn't know how long he'll play: “My legs decide.
One year, three, ten?
Just take a look.
But I want to be physically up to date even after my career. "
Meanwhile, the defensive midfielder raved about his teammate Joshua Kimmich, who for him is the best six in the world. With Kimmich, Martinez, who came to Bayern in 2012, won his ninth German championship title on Saturday, plus two triumphs in the Champions League and in the Super Cup, once the FIFA Club World Cup and five DFBs for the Spanish world and European champions Cup successes and four in the DFL Supercup.
The best title of his career was the victory in the premier class in 2013 against Borussia Dortmund.
“I had always dreamed of this trophy, and it was at the end of my first season,” said Martinez: “A lot of people said at the time that 40 million euros for a defensive midfielder was a lot of money, even if I always ignored this amount for myself have."
He owed a lot to his then coach Jupp Heynckes, who brought him to Munich, said Martinez.

The fact that he will have to play his last game for Bayern without spectators makes him sad: “It will be a strange farewell because I would love to say goodbye to the fans in a full stadium.
Not being able to say goodbye is bitter and sad, "said Martinez, for whom Munich has become a second home to which he always wants to return.
"It was an honor for me, I will always be FC Bayern's biggest fan."
