The want out player has become disillusioned with life at Bayern after falling down the pecking order to Miroslav Klose and Luca Toni.

"Of course I want to play more games, but I won't think about leaving the club until the winter," Podolski told Bild.

The German international had a recent spat with Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge after publicly announcing his dismay at the club.

"Mr. Rummenigge has the right to criticize me or any other player, but I can only say that I'm fully concentrated on Bayern."

Despite not featuring regularly for Bayern Podolski was called up by Germany coach Joachim Loew for the World Cup qualifiers against Russia and Wales.

"It's always different when I play 90 minutes with Germany, that's it's always much fun for me being called up to the national team."

"Loew has full confidence in my abilities."
