Bayern Munich have already secured the signing of Jonathan Tah from June, but Bayer Leverkusen now demand a €5 million transfer fee for his availability in the Club World Cup. Meanwhile, Bayern’s supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has now ruled out more signings for the summer tournament.
"Bayern Munich will not purchase any additional players for the Club World Cup," said Rummenigge in an interview with Sport BILD. However, the 69-year-old is looking forward to the competition staged in the US.
According to Rummenigge, abolishing the Confederations Cup for the new format of the club competition gives a “proper reward” to clubs instead of releasing their players for national teams for the competition hosted a year before the World Cup.
Rummenigge also emphasized the enormous marketing potential in the United States, in addition to the sporting and financial advantages of the Club World Cup.
