Rumenig recently talked about Walter Mad's transfer in an interview with the TV program "Blickpunkt Sport". He said that Bayern would never pay such a high transfer fee for him.
Rummenigge: "To be honest, when the Waltermad thing and Stuttgart's demands came up, I, Heines, Heines, Dresen and Ebert said, guys, we are slowly entering a market that I don't think is acceptable. We shouldn't meet all their requirements to please some people, especially Stuttgart investors."
Newcastle eventually paid a fixed transfer fee of 75 million euros for Waltermad, breaking the Stuttgart team's record of selling people in history. Before that, the most expensive transfer of Stuttgart was Paval's transfer to Bayern's 35 million euros.
Rumenig: "I just want to congratulate Stuttgart, I put in quotes - I found a 'fool' who is willing to pay so much. Because we will never do that."
Regarding Wiltz, Rumenig said: "We are actually a little regretful for Florian because he is a great player, and I believe he will be very suitable for us."
