This comes after prior comments from Hoeneß supporting the abolition of the famous 50+1 rule in the Bundesliga, which states that the members must hold at least 50% plus one vote of the club's shares, to avoid losing total control of the club at hands of private investors (via Kicker): "Sooner or later, the 50+1 rule has to go in Germany," stated Hoeneß.

Bayern Munich sold youngster Nestory Irankunda this summer to Watford, but nested in the deal was a favorable buy-back option for the Bavarians. That's according to a report from Sport Bild, as captured by @iMiaSanMia_GER: Bayern has a buy-back clause for Nestory Irankunda of 4.5-5 million €. He was sold to FC Watford in the summer for 3 million €. [Bayern-Insider, @cfbayern, @altobelli13]

Musiala has been out of action since sustaining a serious fibula and ankle injury during the FIFA Club World Cup against Paris Saint-Germain this summer following a collision with Gianluigi Donnarumma, who now plays for Manchester City. While Vincent Kompany is eager to have Musiala back in the fold, the club wants to do everything they can to not rush him back too soon and avoid risking a major injury setback, as has unfortunately happened with players like Manuel Neuer several times in the past.

The rapid rise of Lennart Karl has further reinforced the view of the club's bosses that they should rely even more on academy talents, look after them and promote them in the future. Thanks to Karl, the people in charge are more aware than ever of how much money integrating young talent can save, which could influence the squad planning. The Bayern Campus is currently receiving a huge amount of attention and also more appreciation.

Just a few years ago, there was a viral moment caught from a futsal match that captured the imagination of social media.

"There should be a limit on player salaries," Hainer said in a November interview with Abendzeitung, as captured by @iMiaSanMia.

It is NOT TRUE: Bayern want to sell Leon Goretzka in January. But, it is true that the Germany international wants to stay at the Allianz Arena. The 30-year-old sees a chance to stay at Bayern Munich - he'd love to stay at the club. However, as everyone knows, he's one of the top earners at about €17m-18m [£14.9m-15.8m] gross. Bayern have made a decision to talk to the midfielder and his agents next year about a new contract, and then they will see if he's willing to lower his earnings. If so, there's a chance for Leon Goretzka to stay.

The hosts opened the scoring in the 22nd minute through a set-piece. Bukayo Saka delivered a vicious cross from the left corner, which was headed past Manuel Neuer by Jurrien Timber. Arteta's men got better after scoring the opener, consistently winning the ball higher up the pitch. They came close to doubling the lead in the 31st minute, when Eberechi Eze's shot was just wide off the post after some impressive link-up play with Mikel Merino.
