He has strongly asserted that current reserve keeper Michael Rensing will be the one to inherit the mantle of the great Oliver Kahn when he retires at the end of the season.
Reports from Scotland this week claimed that Bayern were set to make a €13 million bid for the Celtic keeper after sending goalkeeping coach Sepp Maier to spy on the Polish keeper in action.
“There is absolutely nothing in the story” Hoeneß stressed. “It’s a strange story. Sepp Maier wasn’t there. From beginning to end, there is no truth in it” he added.
Speaking after Bayern’s 2-1 Bundesliga victory over Bayer Leverkusen, Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge described the story as “complete nonsense”.
“It’s grotesque to think that Sepp Maier is looking for a goalkeeper for Jürgen Klinsmann. We certainly won’t be spending €13 million on another keeper.”
The Scottish tabloid ‘The Daily Record’ reported that 28 year old Boruc would be brought in to succeed Oliver Kahn in the Bayern goal.
Rummenigge however has repeated the claim that Michael Rensing is the confirmed successor to Kahn.
“We have assured him that he is our number one. That assurance remains. Therefore everything else is just not an issue” he said.
