Michael Ballack has backed Germany team-mate Bastian Schweinsteiger to succeed at another top European clubs should he chose to leave Bayern Munich.
Schweinsteiger's current contract with the Bundesliga champions expires in 2012 and there have been suggestions that the Germany international could be tempted to leave for Spain or England.
And Ballack, who spent four years with Chelsea, believes the 26-year-old midfielder would be a perfect addition to European heavyweights like Manchester United or Real Madrid.
Ballack told Kicker magazine: "He has taken on the responsibility placed in him and is now in a phase when he is looking to reach the zenith of his career.
"He took a huge step forwards at the World Cup. He has presence, authority, personality, performance and goals - he has everything."
He added: "Only he will be able to feel what is right for him for the future.
"Of course, every footballer is attracted to certain things and Bastian will feel these also. But there are not that many big clubs around and Bayern is one of them.
"On the other hand, Real or Man United are both attractive and he would fit in well at both clubs."
