Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeneß has weighed in on the club’s 2025 summer transfer decisions, saying the Bundesliga giants were right to avoid signing Xavi Simons, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, and Benjamin Šeško.
In comments shared by Fabrizio Romano on Monday, Hoeneß stated, “We made the right decision not to sign any of these players,” referring to the trio of young talents linked with Bayern during the window.
He defended Bayern’s cautious stance, highlighting the financial risks of heavy spending and stressing the club’s focus on long-term stability and sustainable growth.
Addressing striker Harry Kane’s situation, Hoeneß confirmed the forward has a release clause valid until the end of January.
“Kane has a release clause until the end of January. We assume he will definitely fulfil his contract until 2027. And if it were up to us—and from what I’ve heard, he wants it too—he will extend. His family feels comfortable in Germany.
“Harry Kane only ever worked with bodyguards at home in London. You don’t necessarily need that kind of life. His family feels very comfortable here. In Munich, you can still go about your business in peace,” he added.
Bayern Munich’s next match is on Wednesday against Union Berlin in the DFB-Pokal round of 16.
