Muller, on Havertz: “It is paradoxical that there is talk of transfers if they lower our salary”

Thomas Müller, Bayern attacking midfielder, said that it is “a little paradoxical” to talk about new signings at the same time that the clubs are saving on salaries of the current staff due to the crisis caused by the coronavirus. Müller thus answered a question of how he would see that Hai Havertz, currently at Bayer Leverkusen, became a player on his team. He praised Havertz and recalled that he had been able to train with him in his last calls to the German team.

“The last times I was with the national team I had the pleasure of training and playing with him. Kai Havertz is an extremely good player and one of the great talents in Europe. He has great qualities and naturally Bayern always wants to have players with the best qualities, “Müller told Sky channel. Later, Müller recalled that he did not have access to the figures of Bayern CFO Jan-Christian Dreesen, nor did he know what it was possible or the plans of the sports management. “I don't know what is being planned or what budget is available at a time like this“Müller commented.

“It is also a little paradoxical to insist on talking about new signings and at the same time save on salaries“The Bayern players, under the coronavirus, temporarily gave up 40 percent of their salary. With regard to new signings there have been various positions within the leadership of Bayern.

Oliver Kahn, a member of the board of directors and who must succeed Karlheinz Rummenigge at the head of that body, has even raised the possibility of not making any signings for next season. Rumennigge, meanwhile, He said that you have to wait to see how the transfer market develops and he has said that the next season may be more demanding than the current one. Among the candidates to join Bayern, in addition to Havertz is Leroy Sané.
