"I'll refrain from commenting on the figures. However, we have discussed the entire contract internally over the past few days. Herbert Hainer, Max Eberl, Jan Dreesen, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, and I are all in agreement: We will put this whole topic of agents up for discussion. And we will no longer tolerate agents dictating how things are done. Their contribution is increasingly disproportionate to the fees they demand. They earn far too much money for what they do - for some, it doesn't even extend beyond three lunches with us,"
"We will increasingly say "no" and refuse to participate in this madness. We can even tell the player: 'If your agent continues to negotiate so outrageously, we will no longer discuss your future with us' - it has to go that far."
Dayot Upamecano's signing involved a contentious and sometimes painful negotiation process. Uli Hoeneß declined to disclose transfer figures and said club executives including Herbert Hainer, Max Eberl, Jan Dreesen and Karl‑Heinz Rummenigge backed internal discussions about agents. Hoeneß criticized agents for demanding disproportionate fees, dictating deal terms and earning excessive sums for minimal work. Bayern plans to say no more often, refuse to participate in what it calls madness, and may blacklist agents who act unfairly. The club warned it could stop discussing a player's future if an agent continues to negotiate outrageously.
