Transfer News UPDATE - Champions League sides'

OFFICIAL: Holger Badstuber leaves FC Bayern on loan until the end of the season. He chose to sign for Schalke 04, so Pep Guardiola lost out on a potential reunion with the Bayern defender. 

The 27 year old has been looking to get some regular playing time, since he is fit again after three years of injury problems. Bayern's preferred centre backs are Jerome Boating and Mats Hummels, while Javi Martinez was also ahead of Holger Badstuber in the pecking order.
