footballer.
"Everything’s fine," Martinez was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, previous reports suggested that the deal was stalled as Los Leones were not willing to sell the highly-rated youngster. The La Liga were side were forced to see the player out of the club as the country’s transfer
rules allow the player to buy-out his agreement and give the collected cash to the Spanish FA.
The country’s tax laws will prove to be highly costly for the Bavarians as they will have to pay in addition to the €40 million buy-out clause for the young prodigy. The versatile player will go back to his country to clear the
pending amount. Der FCB president Uli Hoeness claimed that he was certain that the deal would go through.

and later retracted his words by admitting he will form a great partnership with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bastian-Schweinsteiger-c7374.
"We don't need the player,” Beckenbauer mused.
"He’d form a fantastic duo with Schweinsteiger," he said.
The 23-year-old will surpass the record transfer of Mario Gomez in 2009 when Bayern bagged him for €33 million.
