The Bavarian giants’ president stated that the FC Hollywood side will not be spending a huge amount of money on any other stars unlike the Spanish international for some time now.
Bayern Munich chairman Uli Hoeness has insisted that the transfer of defensive player Javi Martinez from Spanish outfit Athletic Bilbao for €40 million will not become a trend for the German team, and was concluded on special basis.
The club initially stated that they will not pay record money for the star player but were in the end forced to sign him.
The highly-rated youngster made a record breaking move to the Allianz Arena in the summer transfer window, and the president feels that the versatile player will be the most extravagant footballer signed by the Bundesliga side
for the foreseeable future. The young prodigy had to buy-out his clause from Bilbao to join Der FCB this summer.
The club official confirmed that there will be no more cash splashed like this on any other gifted player for at least a decade, and going back on this statement is improbable for the Bayern supremo.
"The chance that we will make another big-money transfer like the Javi Martinez deal in the next 10 years or so is very slim," Hoeness was quoted as saying in an interview.
"I put my complete faith in Jupp Heynckes and Matthias Sammer for that signing. I deliberately opted not to go and watch the player in action,” the former West http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 legend mused.
Moreover, the 60-year-old further added that the fans and other people should not expect that Bayern will follow the suit of other cash rich big spenders in Europe such as Manchester City, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and Zenit St. Petersburg.
"However, people should not all of a sudden think that the transfer madness has now reached Bayern Munich as well," he finally concluded.
The talented playmaker has so far featured in three games for the Bavarian team and started his first game for the club in their UEFA Champions League game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toni-Kroos-c35425 in
their last league triumph over Mainz on Saturday.
