„Bayern“ team president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge responded to "Manchester City" sporting director Txiki Begiristain after his statement about the possibility of acquiring several players from the German champions.
There are often rumors in the press that Pep Guardiola will lure some of his former players to England, and Begiristain confirmed that his team could be reinforced with players from "Bayern". Responding to such talk, Rummenigge said he was surprised by his colleague's statement and emphasized that "City" has no chance of acquiring the key players from his team.
"I was surprised by my colleague from "Manchester City" after his statement. Contracts are contracts and they must be respected by "City". Munich's "Bayern" always wants to be a leading team, and that is what we strive for. We have shown this by resolving the situation with Alaba. "Bayern" is the club that makes the decisions, not some team from England with their crazy offers," Rummenigge said.
There were rumors in the press that David Alaba would move to "Man City", but these rumors ended last week when the player extended his contract with "Bayern".
