Bayern Munich’s president condemns FC Barcelona’s actions

CAIRO –20 August 2017: Bayern Munich President Uli Hoeness criticized on August 18 FC Barcelona’s actions to sign Borrusia Dortmund winger Ousmane Dembele.

Talking to Eurosport, Hoeness condemned FC Barcelona’s officials in trying to buy Dembele throughout his release clause.

Hoeness said, "It cannot be that a player determines his price. If Barcelona is behind it, then I have no respect for that club. Forcing a player to break his contract is of the lowest class,” reporting from Goal.

Bayern’s president added, "Clubs must all show who is the boss – and these clubs must hopefully make sensible and watertight contracts,” citing from Goal.

Hoeness concluded, "If you have that strength in your contracts, then players and agents can do what they want. We must return to the fact that a contract is a contract,” according to Goal.

FC Barcelona became interested in signing Ousmane Dembele ever since the departure of Barcelona’s winger Neymar, who left the club to join Paris Saint Germain on August 10.
