Lothar Matthäus expressed his disregard for criticisms from Uli Hoeneß, asserting that Hoeneß operates in a dated understanding of the football market. Matthäus defended his valuation of young player Woltemade, comparing it to recent transfers that reflect new market dynamics. He criticized Bayern Munich for overlooking talent and focusing on attacking others rather than addressing internal scouting shortcomings. Matthäus emphasized that player values have risen dramatically, pointing out discrepancies between the expectations for Bayern players and those of competitors.
First of all, I have to say that I'm used to Uli Hoeneß' insults and I don't take them seriously anymore. He's been doing that for 20, 25 years. I don't let it get to me; that makes you thick-skinned.
Uli Hoeneß still lives in his own world and still hasn't understood that not only football, but also the business has evolved. I'm aware of what's going on in the market.
Bayern would want much more for him than, for example, Wirtz cost. Bayern would want €180m. So why can't Wirtz cost €150m or Woltemade €80-100m?
FC Bayern already spent €80m on Lucas Hernández in 2019. Hoeneß should investigate internally: Why didn't FC Bayern and their scouts discover Woltemade earlier?
