Karl-Heinz Rummenigge comments on Uli Hoeneß, which is still loudly, at FC Bayern-and also talks about a burst transfer.
The long-time Bavaria CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has spoken about the continued commitment of Uli Hoeneß and himself in the club-and described a time when both would give responsibility: “We will do it until we have the feeling that everything is 100 percent in order beforehand-you also have to say that the development of the final of the final” said Rummenigge in an interview with the “Sport Bild”. “So if it is 100 percent in order, then we will also hand over the key to the successors.”
Rummenigge, who turns 70 on Thursday, was CEO of the German record champion from 2022 to 2021, formed the formative management duo of the club for many years. Today, both members of the Aufichtungsrat are, Hoeneß is honorary president – and continues to speak loudly to Bayern, for example, recently caused increasing statements about the current sports director Max Eberl and the transfer policy of Munich.
Rummenigges clear view of the role of the 73-year-old: “I still think that the club needs no less Uli Hoeneß,, but more. “
With the public defeat of FC Bayern in the transfer freight around Bayer Leverkusens Florian Wirtz, Rummenigge still struggled: “I have to honestly say, in the case of Florian Wirtz, I am still sorry because I think the player at Bayern Munich would be better off than at Liverpool FC.” Bayern had declared Wirtz as a desired player, despite great efforts around the international, the attacker decided to switch to the “Reds”.
The Munich team also tried around Nick Woltemade from VfB Stuttgart, but the striker switched to Newcastle United, for 75 million euros. A sum that Bayern did not want to pay. “FC Bayern is well advised not to participate in every financial madness,” said Rummenigge. “I always said: We want to have sporting success, but please finance serious and solidly.” Bayern still have “a top team”.
