The former German international has changed his stance and insists that Der FCB need to pay big money in order to secure the services of the Athletic Bilbao midfielder.
Bayern Munich sporting director Matthias Sammer feels that it is necessary to pay huge amount of money to maintain the competitive edge, even though, a buy-out clause of €40 million for Athletic Bilbao holding midfielder Javi Martinez
is insane. Die Roten claimed last week that they will not be extorted into breaking the bank for the player.
The Bundesliga title record holders have experienced two seasons without achieving any form of success. Last season they lost the DFB-Pokal final and the Bundesliga to Borussia Dortmund and even lost out to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in the UEFA
Champions League final.
The Bavarian giants have declared their intent on signing a defensive midfield player throughout the transfer market in order to strengthen their team and challenge the defending German double winning side, Dortmund.
FC Hollywood wanted to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martinez-c24468. However, a deal could not be agreed until now as the

The 44-year-old admitted that the club must be ambitious if it wants to win silverware and pay over the odds for the midfielder. He confirmed that at the moment the side has not made any formal bids for the Spanish international.
"Right now, we're not doing it because it's crazy. But if we want to do things on the pitch, then we must be crazy," Sammer was quoted as saying in an interview.
Bayern have already shown that they mean business this term and have bolstered their team with big names such as Mario Mandzukic, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dante-c10236 in the current transfer market.
