Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer has refuted suggestions that the deal to make Julian Nagelsmann the club's new manager could cost the German champions up to €25 million (£22m/$30m).
A compensation package is due to Bundesliga rivals RB Leipzig after Bayern moved quickly to make a domestic rival their long-term successor to the departing Hansi Flick.
Various figures have been mooted in that agreement, from €15m (£13m/$18m) upwards, but Hainer claims there is little substance to the speculation in what is said to be a record-breaking deal for a coach.
