Bayern Munich left-back says there is a dearth of quality full-backs in the world, hence their expensive prices. He made the comment in the wake of Manchester City making French left-back Benjamin Mendy the world’s most expensive full-back after securing his services from Monaco for a whopping £52 million, after they had spent £45 million on Kyle Walker. The Citizens also bought Danilo from Real Madrid for £26.5m as back-up to Walker as Pep Guardiola continues spending money like failure to spend it is a death sentence.
“I guess you don’t have as many quality full-backs at the moment and maybe five on the right side, three, two or five on the left side, full-backs who play at one level,” he told Goal on the sidelines of an Adidas event at Collyer Quay, Singapore. “I guess a very good full-back is not easy to find in the market right now.
“If you want to have a good one, I guess it’s expensive.”
However, the Austrian left-back is not thinking about a big-money elsewhere. “At the moment, I am good at Bayern Munich and I don’t think about that,” he said.
