Rummenigge would understand that unvaccinated Bayern professionals would have to waive their wages

Salary cut for unvaccinated Bayern professionals?

A comprehensible step for Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

He speaks of a "sign".

Munich - The tone will be at Bayern: Even the former club boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge would understand if the Munich soccer club should make salary cuts for its unvaccinated professionals.

According to a media report, this should be done with the actors who, as contact persons for infected people, have to be in a corona quarantine.

The German national players Joshua Kimmich, Serge Gnabry, Jamal Musiala and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting are affected.

Rummenigge: "Great economic damage for FC Bayern"

If Rummenigge has his way, the reaction of his ex-club would be appropriate: "If what the Bild-Zeitung reports is correct, it is certainly also to be understood as a sign that the club is now reacting," said Rummenigge on Sunday at "Sky90" .

The 66-year-old continues: “The next game you can only play with 25 percent audience capacity.

75,000 will then become around 19,000. That is also a major economic loss for FC Bayern, "said Rummenigge about the new corona restrictions.

That would be a financial loss in the millions per home game.

And how would Kimmich find the measure?

“He won't like that,” said Rummenigge, commenting on Kimmich's possible reaction to salary cuts.

He explicitly called the 26-year-old vaccineer a responsible person.

The national player is "stigmatized to a certain extent".

FC Bayern did not comment on the media report.

According to Rummenigge, however, the “exclusive role model” is not to be found in football.

“If a footballer like him has concerns about vaccinating, then it is up to the responsible politicians and scientists to dispel these concerns.

After all, they share 32 percent in our country, ”said Rummenigge.

Rummenigge: Many conversations with unvaccinated professionals at FC Bayern

Rummenigge knows that the discussion is damaging FC Bayern: “It's a debate that is slowly becoming annoying for the club.

Everyone has tried to clear up the non-vaccination issue or to find a solution.

That has not been successful so far. ”Rummenigge knew“ from a reliable source ”from many conversations with the previously unvaccinated professionals at FC Bayern.

"Corona occupies the whole club and the team," said Rummenigge.

In the 1: 2 against FC Augsburg on Friday evening in the Bundesliga, a top performer like Kimmich was of course missing from the team: "No club in the world can replace players like Joshua Kimmich."
