not totally true. Bayern also were interested and told S04 that they would buy him in the summer, and Draxler also said Bayern is a dream to play for... However Schalke's chairman said he doesn't see him joining Bayern. Personally I think Bayern is a bit better of a fit for him (still in his homeland, no language barrier, plus playing with other Germans, strengthening his spot on the National team. yeah Mertesacker, Podolski, Ozil, but there's the captains for the National team on Bayern).

I can see Arsenal being linked to him all summer, but the move will fall through again and they will instead sign Max Meyer. Meyer is being touted as the next Gotze (lol only a few years younger) and would be hella cheaper.

One interesting angle will be what players come to MLS after the World Cup. That brought Henry, Marquez, etc four years ago.
