Bayern chief slams Robert Lewandowski after transfer criticism | OneFootball

Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić has criticised striker Robert Lewandowski after he questioned the club’s transfer policy.

Speaking after Super Cup defeat to Dortmund last month, Lewandowski claimed that Bayern needed more ‘senior players’ who could help the squad immediately.

Salihamidžić, however, defended the signing of young players and warned the 30-year-old for making such statements in public.

“Robert does not have to worry about my job, or the job of (CEO) Karl-Heinz Rummenigge or (president) Uli Hoeness – and certainly not in public,” he told Kicker.

“He does not have to – I think he understood that.”

“If we do not invest in young players, it will be difficult for Bayern. We can’t spend hundreds of millions every summer.

“That’s what we talk about with Niko Kovač, and although we aim to win the championship and the Champions League, we need to invest in these young players on a regular basis.”

Bayern currently sit second in the Bundesliga after taking seven points from their first three games.
