Bayern Munich CEO, Oliver Kahn, has said the Bundesliga champions love Portugal’s captain, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Kahn said this while ruling out a move for Ronaldo following his Manchester United exit last week.
Ronaldo, who is searching for a club, is currently a free agent after his contract with Man United was terminated last week.
“We have already dealt with this,” Bayern’s CEO Oliver Kahn told Sky Sports Germany.
“We have a clear idea, a clear philosophy of how our squad should be put together.
“We all appreciate him, there is no discussion. We all love Cristiano Ronaldo, but that is something that doesn’t fit into our idea.”
During the summer, Bayern were one of a handful of suitors who publicly rejected the chance to move for Ronaldo, who has since been released from his contract with Manchester United after his bombshell interview.
Having lost Robert Lewandowski in the summer, Bayern have successfully leant on both Sadio Mane and Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting for goals from their strikers, while Jamal Musiala leads the team for both goals (nine) and assists (seven).
Bayern are expected to try and bolster their forward line next summer, rather than in January, and sources have confirmed that the Bundesliga giants are following a number of possible signings, including Harry Kane, Patrik Schick and Jonathan David.
Kahn also discussed Bayern’s interest in Tottenham talisman Kane, once again batting away the speculation and refusing to go into detail about players under contract elsewhere.
