The two German giants have completely different policies when it comes to transfers.
Former Bayern Munich director Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has insisted the Bavarians would never sell a player like Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham.
The England international has developed into one of the most promising midfielders in German football since joining Dortmund in 2020.
His wonderful performances have already attracted a host of suitors from the Premier League. But Rummenigge believes Bayern wouldn’t have let such a star leave the club.
“As a rule, Bayern Munich do not need to sell players in order to improve their balance sheet,” Rummenigge told Funke Mediengruppe.
“At Dortmund, there is already talk of Bellingham leaving. Bayern would not sell such a player.”
Since Marco Reus’ injury last month, Bellingham has taken over Dortmund’s captain armband. At 19 years old, the midfielder’s mature presence in the Black and Yellows’ midfield has earned him widespread praise.
“What he’s doing in his position at his age, we haven’t seen,” Ferdinand told BT Sport. “The best of our generation, [Frank] Lampard, [Steven] Gerrard, [Paul] Scholes, [Patrick] Vieira, Roy Keane, they weren’t doing this.
“He’s still got to go on and prove it over a long period of time, but they weren’t doing what he is doing right now [at the same age]. Influencing games at this level, captaining teams at this level, and mentally this kid’s a beast.”
