Bayern Munich President Uli Hoeness says the club is currently in talks with Russian energy giant Gazprom on a possible sponsorship deal. Hoeness told Wednesday's edition of Sport Bild that he and Bayern Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge had met with Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller before Christmas. Gazprom currently sponsors Schalke, but Hoeness says any possible deal between Bayern and the energy giant would not affect its Bundesliga rival. “That's something I have assured my friend [Schalke Chairman] Clemens Toennies,” said Hoeness. Bayern is currently sponsored by Deutsche Telekom. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/30904.aspx
