Bayern Munich are interested in buying CSKA Moscow`s Yuri Zhirkov, the German Sport Bild paper said on Wednesday. The paper said that the German giants saw Zhirkov, one of Russia`s best players at last summer`s Euro 2008, as a replacement for Philipp Lahm in the left of defense. Lahm is expected to be moved to right back. Neither 25-year-old Zhirkov nor CSKA have commented on the news. Zhirkov has also been linked with a move to Chelsea, currently coached by Guus Hiddink, trainer of the Russian national team. CSKA face Aston Villa in a second leg Round of 32 UEFA Cup tie on Thursday evening. The first leg ended 1-1.
