Robert Lewandowski has been slammed by Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge after he questioned the club\u2019s transfer policy.<\/p>\n
Over the summer Bayern signed Corentina Tolisso from Lyon, Niklas Sule from Hoffenheim and Kingsley Coman on a permanent deal from Juventus, as well as James Rodriguez on loan from Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
Lewandowski recently told\u00a0Der Spiegel\u00a0<\/em>he wanted the Bavarians to compete for the best in the transfer market, with Paris Saint-Germain signing Neymar for \u00a3198m and Kylian Mbappe during the summer window, while Barcelona paid \u00a397m plus add-ons for Ousmane Dembele.<\/p>\n The Polish striker said: “Bayern will have to come up with something and be creative if the club wants to keep bringing world-class players to Munich. And if you want to compete at the top, you need to have these quality players.”<\/p>\n However, Rummenigge has taken exception to his remarks and slammed Lewandowski, whose\u00a0agent said the player was “disappointed” over a perceived lack of support in his hunt for the golden boot last season.<\/p>\n “It would be a pity, if he actually saw it that way. Loyalty is part of Bayern’s DNA and very important to our fans,” Rummenigge told\u00a0Bild<\/em>.<\/p>\n
