Now that you look back and reflect on Renato Sanches' transfer from Benfica to Bayern Munich, you can realize that the German giants didn't really pay a huge price for the youngster. In his performance at the Euros he proved that he is worth at least €50 million, although they did pay €35 for his transfer, his final price could be elevated to €45 million if Bayern manages to win the Champions League and other trophies. 

Talking to Bild, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge revealed that Ancelotti approved Renato's arrival despite the price: "This is a tremendous amount of money, something we do not need to discuss, but I sat down with Carlo Ancelotti in March and we agreed: this player is worth the risk. At the European Championship it has already been seen what tremendous power he brings, and what a personality he is on the pitch at 18. That's impressive.

"When Renato Sanches became known at the European Championships, he had already signed with us. We won [the race for his signature] because the others had just planned their holidays."

Finally, Rummenige also spoke about Borussia Dortmund's philosophy and denied that they are going through economic problems: "I don't believe BVB getting into financial trouble will happen again. They have a good philosophy and will be our natural competitor. It is no coincidence that Dortmund has continually established itself, and it is also proof that football is not exclusively about money, but also good work. The conditions were better at other locations, but in Dortmund they have worked better."
