MUNICH: Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness ruled out breaking the 100 million euros ($113 million) mark this summer and said he would buy French striker Kylian Mbappe “immediately” if he had the money. Bayern are planning a major squad overhaul this summer, and have already confirmed the signings of French World Cup winners Benjamin Pavard and Lucas Hernandez. In an interview with German news agency DPA on Tuesday, Hoeness admitted that, in an ideal world, he would love to sign another French World Cup winner, Paris Saint-Germain’s 20-year-old star. The Bayern president ruled out spending 100 million euros on a single player in the summer transfer window but suggested that Bayern may break that figure in the future. “There definitely won’t be a 100 million euro transfer this year, but I have to admit that ten years ago, I couldn’t have imagined spending 80 million,” he said.
