The president of Bayern Munich issued a statement on the signing of goalkeeper Alexander Nubel.
The arrival of Nubel de Schalke has cast doubt on the current position of Manuel Neuer, number one, and his contract will expire next summer. Neuer himself previously said he is unhappy after details of his contract negotiations were leaked to the media.
However, Rummenigge has now stepped in to say that Bayern expects Neuer and Nubel to work together, in addition to reacting negatively to his signing of the 23-year-old goalkeeper.
He said: “In the past few weeks there have been many reports about Alexander Nubel. On behalf of FC Bayern, I would like to clarify that all decision makers at Bayern, including head coach Hansi Flick, are very pleased that Nubel is a Bayern player next season.
“He is one of the best young goalkeepers in Europe and an important player for the future of our team. We are sure that Manuel Neuer, with his quality and experience, will make an important contribution to the development of Nubel.”
“Furthermore, we would like to place on record that FC Bayern does not tolerate derogatory comments from players’ agents about other Bayern players.”
