The honorary president of Bayern Munich, Uli Höhnes, expressed his pride for the economic and sports model of the Bavarian club, revealing his philosophy in the transfer market.
Hoenes said in a press release issued to the network “DAZN”“A lot of clubs are very proud when they make a ‘wonderful’ sale deal… I’m not a fan of constant buying and selling. We are buying a player for Bayern Munich and we don’t want to think from the moment he signs to where we will sell him later.”
“If that’s your business model, you’re not going to be successful in the long run. We are way ahead of others in that respect. “In all the years I’ve been here, there’s rarely been a player left that we actually wanted to keep,” he warned.

Hoenes continued. “Michael Ballack moved to England and Toni Kroos to Spain, but even in those cases the decision was in our hands… I remember meeting Toni Kroos once in the corridor and I said to him: “Tony, you can earn 10 million euros with us.” But if you want 10 million and one euro more, you have to leave… and he left.”
“Same with David Alaba. By the way, he’s the only player who still calls us on Christmas Eve… but even to him I said, “This is our offer, and if you don’t accept it, you must leave.” It’s very important that you know how to say no.”
“I have to say that Bayern Munich is in a great situation that they haven’t been in for a long time. And I’m not the only one saying that. When we meet our Real Madrid friends before Champions League matches, they always ask: “How do you do that?”
“This is something we can be proud of, that 75% of the company is still owned by the club and that our partners fit us perfectly, as if they were made especially for us.”
