'Hoeness wanted Bernat to sign a five-year deal!' - Agent hits back at Bayern Munich president

Juan Bernat's agent has questioned Uli Hoeness's criticism of Juan Bernat, insisiting the Bayern Munich president himself wanted the left-back to sign a five-year contract before he left for Paris Saint-Germain.

The Spain international spent four years with the Bavarian side before making the switch to France at the end of August.

Hoeness said on Friday that the club made the decision to offload Bernat after a particularly bad performance in a 2-1 win over Sevilla in the Champions League, in which Bernat was substituted at half-time for his role in the Spanish side's goal.
