Thiago Alcantara has one year left on his Bayern Munich contract at the moment. The Bavarian giants don’t want to sell the player but they have reluctantly slapped a €30m asking price on him.
Uli Hoeness confessed that Bayern Munich face an anxious three weeks until the transfer window ends on October 5.
The ex-Bayern chief also launched an attack on Pini Zahavi who represents defender David Alaba.
Bayern Munich defender Alaba has requested for a new contract worth €25m per annum.
Uli Hoeness finds his wage demands ridiculous and he believes that his agent Pini Zahavi has played a part in it. It was also confirmed that the agent has asked for €20m to get the new contract done.
