The Bavarian giants believe that they are not supposed to owe any payments to La Liga side because Athletic Bilbao should be the one to compensate their Spanish counterparts.
Bayern Munich supremo Uli Hoeness has maintained that the German outfit is not obliged to make the due payments from Javi Martinez move to the FC Hollywood side in this transfer window, and only his former club Athletic Bilbao
are to make the payments to Osasuna as per their contract negotiations when they signed Martinez.
Osasuna are believed to be asking for a large sum of 800,000 Euros from Die Roten club as reimbursement for developing the defensive midfielder when he was a youth player. Little Red Ones sold him for 6 million Euros in 2006 and
added a clause that if the youngster is sold they will get a royalty for the player.
However, Die Bayern are not willing to pay the Spanish team as they believe Los Leones are committed to complete the agreement from the clause, that Osasuna will receive a share from the sale of the Basque international. The versatile
player signed for Bilbao when he was 17-years-old.
German powerhouse’s president claimed that the player’s first club were warranted a specific amount according to FIFA rules as the 24-year-old was a youth product of their academy. The versatile player appeared in 32 games for
them and scored three times in his time at the club.
"Osasuna are entitled to a certain fee according to FIFA regulations because http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martinez-c24468 came through the ranks of their youth academy," Hoeness was quoted as saying in an interview.
"However, Bilbao are the team that's supposed to pay them the money. Bayern have nothing to do with this situation," the former Bayern Munich and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FC-Nuremberg-c38162 midfielder concluded.
The former general manager of Der FCB insisted that the Lions are contracted to pay the fees to Osasuna, and confirmed that Bayern have nothing to do with the owed payment. The issue is complicated as the young prodigy did not
seek a transfer through the normal procedure but instead cancelled his Bilbao contract to move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904.
