Matthäus amazed:
Five mil? “Don’t know what’s going on at Bayern”
"If it's down to five million, then I don't know what's going on at Bayern." Lothar Matthäus is puzzled by the Jonathan Tah case.
The transfer of the German team defender from Leverkusen to Bayern is said to have failed because of this five million. Leverkusen reportedly wanted a transfer fee of 25 million euros (plus bonuses), while Bayern were only prepared to pay 20 (plus bonuses). "Leverkusen had their ideas. Neither Bayern nor Barcelona fulfilled them and that's why Leverkusen turned them down," said Lothar Matthäus on Saturday in his role as a Sky expert. Legitimate so far. But he is still surprised: "If it's down to five million, then I don't know what's going on at Bayern."
"I'm very happy here"
Tah himself also appeared in front of the Sky camera after Leverkusen's 3-2 defeat against Leipzig on Saturday evening. He made no secret of his intentions to transfer, but explained: "I'm not saying that I'm not happy here (at Leverkusen, ed.). I've been very happy for nine years. Besides, I'm not a person who dwells on the past for long, so I accept the situation as it is."
After all: Next year, things could still work out with the transfer. That's when Tah's contract with the reigning champions expires and he will be available on a free transfer. And Bayern wouldn't even have to pay the five million.
