FC Bayern will “have to make decisions” – “financial damage” according to Rummenigge

According to Rummenigge, Süle remains open

Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has left national player Niklas Süle in Munich open for a longer period of time. “If we find a solution, we are generally ready to extend the contract, but that will of course only be possible under certain conditions,” said the CEO of the record champions in the “Current Sports Studio” of the ZDF.

Süle’s contract with Bayern expires in summer 2022. “Talks are now being held and then you will see what results they will lead to,” said Rummenigge, who emphasized: “Basically he is a German national player and the philosophy of our club is that we want the good German national players at Bayern . “But he could not foresee the results of the negotiations with Süle.

 The  25-year-old central defender moved from TSG Hoffenheim to Bayern in the summer of 2017. This season he is no longer the first choice under coach Hansi Flick. As a replacement for defensive boss David Alaba (28), who is leaving at the end of the season, the Munich team have already signed Dayot Upamecano (22) from RB Leipzig for 42.5 million euros.

“With Upamecano we have signed at least one player because with David Alaba we will also lose an important player in the summer. Now you have to wait. We will certainly look at the whole thing seriously and calmly until the summer and then we will have to make decisions, ”said Rummenigge, looking ahead to the future squad planning.

 The  club must also pay attention to the tighter finances in the Corona crisis.

“Of course, I would like to say this very clearly, financially we no longer have the mass available that we once had before Corona. Corona has also caused financial damage to FC Bayern, ”Rummenigge made clear. In general, the transfer fees have “already gone down a bit, that was also necessary”, but in terms of salaries, the corona crisis in top football has “not yet made itself felt”.

Rummenigge on ailing Bayern: “

 The  season is exhausting”

According to Rummenigge, the recent weak phase of FC Bayern in the Bundesliga is also related to the high level of stress. “

 The  whole season is exhausting, we play every third day, the players are of course busy,” said the 65-year-old. After winning the Club World Cup in Qatar, Munich only got one point from two games in the Bundesliga, but remain leaders.

Rummenigge sees one of Bayern’s problems this season as “that we are sometimes too inconsistent, we sometimes save ourselves the last meter.” This often leads to backlogs. “

 The n of course it will be demanding,” said the CEO. Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer had previously criticized “Sky” for not having learned “from the Bielefeld game. Frankfurt posed problems for strong attacking players and for us right from the start. We have to show aggressiveness from the start. If we play like we did in the second half, then we’re sure to win the game. ”

With a view to the Bundesliga, Rummenigge suffers with the bottom of the table, FC Schalke 04, for whom relegation after the 0: 4 in the Revierderby against Borussia Dortmund is getting closer. “Of course it’s getting more and more difficult. I have to honestly say that I feel a little sorry for the Schalke team, ”said Rummenigge, who comes from Lippstadt. “Relegation would be a drama for the club and the region.”

Rummenigge, however, cannot understand the criticism of coach Marco Rose from Borussia Mönchengladbach because of his decision to move to BVB. “Sometimes we have to be a little less agitated with these things,” demanded the Bayern boss. “It is part of our business that players or coaches change clubs.”
