Rummenigge talks about the difficulty of signing: This has happened before, and Robben has rejected us

Rumenig was interviewed a few days ago and said that Robben had rejected Bayern when he was young.

Rummenig said: "It's difficult to sign in the summer? This has happened before. I remember that Heness and I wanted to sign Robben, who was still in Eindhoven. We did do our best, we met his father, and we were on the phone with the young man."

But the left-footed general didn't want to go to Bayern at the time. Instead, he transferred to Chelsea in the summer of 2004 and continued to transfer to Real Madrid in 2007, but Bayern never really gave up on his pursuit of Robben.

Rummeniger continued: "We have always believed in this player, and I have always kept in touch with his father. When we had the opportunity to bring him from Real Madrid to Bayern, we signed him."

When talking about the topic of players' rejection of Bayern, Rummeniger also recalled the case of Sebastian Kyle, the current Dortmund sports director who actually agreed to Bayern before moving to Dortmund from Freiburg in 2002, but later turned to Dortmund, which led to an open and fierce dispute between the two clubs.

Rummeniger said: "Kyle once decided not to go to Bayern Munich from Freiburg, although he had signed a contract with us. Then he went to Dortmund, and this happened from time to time."
