No Kylian Mbappé, no Lionel Messi, no Neymar. However, club boss Oliver Kahn is not bothered by the fact that FC Bayern cannot afford stars like their Champions League opponent Paris St. Germain.
“With all due respect for these three — I’m very happy with our squad“Said Bayern Munich’s CEO in an interview with the French sports newspaper L’Equipe ahead of the round of 16 second leg against PSG on Wednesday (9 p.m., live in the Flashscore audio reportage).
In addition, said Kahn, FC Bayern have “our young players“yes myself”Superstars” in Munich. “Sadio Mané, Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Thomas Müller, the young Jamal Musiala… Look, I could review the whole team. Many top international players want to come to us. João Cancelo certainly could have gone elsewhere this winter.”
Kahn emphasized that Bayern could not and would not afford to sign players in the Mbappé, Messi or Neymar price range. “There is a philosophy: We only spend what we earn. And investing a lot of money in a single player is always a big risk. Everything must be done with care. The player must fit into our squad in terms of sport and economy.”
