Karl-Heinz Rummenigge Discusses Bayern Munich's Plan for James Rodriguez

Bayern Munich won't sign James Rodriguez on a permanent deal just to use him to raise transfer funds, tactics club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge compared to "human trafficking."

Rummenigge spoke to AS (h/t Darren Wells of the Daily Mirror) about the future of Rodriguez, who has been on loan from Real Madrid since 2017: "That's not the style of Bayern. We don't want to do human trafficking, to push something elsewhere to make some money. FC Bayern has never been that way."

Wells noted how Premier League rivals Arsenal and Liverpool are keen on Rodriguez.
