Yes, don’t they talk to each other?
Again Bayern have trouble with a star. This time with Corentin Tolisso (27). The Frenchman, who is leaving the record champions for free after five years, taunts the club to say goodbye!
He told the French sports newspaper L’Equipe: “I hadn’t heard from the club for three weeks. I told my advisor to call – and by then the decision had already been made.”
Striking: Once again, a player criticizes the lack of communication from those responsible, especially boss Oliver Kahn (52) and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic (45).
Tolisso: “We agreed with the club that I wouldn’t get any flowers like Süle before the last game because I didn’t know the club’s decision yet.”
Bayern officially announced Tolisso’s departure on the club’s website on Monday. The main reason for the separation: the susceptibility to injury of the 2018 world champion and his high salary!
According to BILD information, the Bayern bosses had thought about making an offer of mercy to Tolisso! That didn’t happen because the midfield star allegedly wanted too much money!
BILD found out: Tolisso (previously between six and seven million euros per year) wanted to almost double his salary and demanded at least eleven million euros an annual salary.
Now he’s looking for a club. The 41.5 million man (2017 from Olympique Lyon) is Bayern’s fifth free transfer departure since last year.
