FC Bayern – Honorary President Uli Hoeneß believes in Sane and “new era”, but not in Havertz

Former President Uli Hoeneß from FC Bayern does not expect a transfer from Bayer Leverkusen’s Kai Havertz to Munich for the new season. The 68-year-old was more optimistic when it came to Leroy Sane.

“We would certainly like to have Kai Havertz, but at the moment it is the case that one does not know exactly how the economic future of football as a whole will go,” said Hoeneß BR radio. “I would love to see him sporting in Munich, but frankly, as of today, I can’t imagine Havertz coming.”

But even without a commitment from Havertz, he sees the German record champions well positioned for the future – and is already talking about Sane.

“I believe that we are on the threshold of a new, great generation. When I think that we have been able to extend with Manuel Neuer. We have with Joshua Kimmich, Niklas Süle, Leon Goretzka, Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman and hopefully David Alaba, Thiago and also Sane a young, viable team “, Hoeneß really got into raptures. “I can well imagine, if everything goes well, that Bayern Munich is just beginning a new era.”

Despite the corona pandemic, those responsible in Leverkusen had always emphasized that they did not want to give Havertz under value. “I assume that the market value losses will not be reflected in the transfer fees for top players,” said Bayer CEO Fernando Carro in mid-April Sky Sports News HD. Havertz should therefore not be available for a sum of less than 100 million euros.

Bayern want to push price for Leroy Sane

The situation is different with Sane. The international has a contract with Manchester City until 2021, so before the new season is the last chance for the Skyblues to a higher transfer fee. While there is already an agreement between Bayern and Sane, both clubs are still divided on the transfer.

“If that works, the prices will certainly be different than a year ago, because he still had a two-year contract and no cruciate ligament rupture,” said Hoeneß last. Munich is said to have started negotiations with an offer of over 40 million euros.
