But based on the situation in Munich, which I have heard in several conversations, Barcelona can save themselves another offer," said Hoeneß.

So are the Bayern bosses sticking to their "Basta" despite the reports of negotiations?

"I don't decide that.

But FC Bayern's statements were clear.

They state that Robert should fulfill the contract in Munich," Hoeneß summarized the situation.

According to media reports, those responsible should demand around 50 million euros for the Pole.
