Bayern Munich president plays down interest in Alexis Sanchez

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has suggested that Bayern Munich are not interested in Alexis Sanchez, he said they are only interested in youngsters. Chile international Sanchez has been a reported target of the club, but Hoeness suggested the 28-year-old forward does not fit the the club’s transfer profile. Good news for Arsenal fans who are hoping that their last season topscorer won’t leave the Gunners to a club where league titles are won and where the Champions League can be won.

“You can’t build a new team with €100 million transfers for 29- and 30-year-olds,” he said.

“I fully support what’s been done so far — it’s highly satisfactory and it all makes sense. Sule, Rudy, Gnabry and Tolisso are players with huge potential for the future,” Hoeness said. “As chairman of the supervisory board I’m very pleased with our transfer policy up till now, because it was implemented with great care.

“Real Madrid deservedly won the Champions League last season, but against which opponent was this team under severe pressure? Against us. After 90 minutes and going into extra time we were leading 2-1 in the Bernabeu.”

Bayern have made four signings so far this summer, adding midfielder Corentin Tolisso from Lyon, former Arsenal winger Serge Gnabry from Werder Bremen and Niklas Sule and Sebastian Rudy from Hoffenheim.
