FC Bayern probably received a letter of complaint from Manchester City in the course of their bid for Leroy Sane. According to the report, the German record champion should hold back in public communication in the future.
This is reported by the kicker. The letter is said to have been received in Munich two weeks ago. This request could also explain the developments of the past days in the Causa Sane. After coach Niko Kovac last declared on ZDF that he was “very confident” and assumed that “we can get him”, Kovac received a rebuke from Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
During the Audi Cup, the Chairman of the Board of Management stressed the good relationship with Manchester City and said: “I didn’t like that. Neither optimistic nor pessimistic statements will help us.” But Kovac followed up on kicker demand: “What I said stands. That’s verified.” Nevertheless, Kovac apologized to those responsible for the Skyblues.
Like the Bayern coach, sports director Hasan Salihamidzic recently expressed optimism about a transfer, but said: “In the future, we will all be well advised not to talk about players who are under contract with other clubs. A few remarks have been made that were not good.”
In such matters it is also about “respect for the club, the owner, the CEO and the trainer who was here once”. Kovac is even said to have made personal contact with Pep Guardiola, Bayern coach from 2013 to 2016. In addition, FC Bayern took their usual clear position on Twitter and posted Rummenigge’s statement at the Audi Cup.
