BERLIN, Dec. 4 -- After the 34-year old Arjen Robben announced his intention to leave Bayern Munich at the end of the 2018/2019 season, rumors about a possible successor are increasing.
In the opinion of Lothar Matthaeus, who was capped a record 150 times for Germany, there is only one real solution.
"Bayern should buy the Leipzig striker Timo Werner," the 57-year-old former Bayern captain commented. "Not doing everything humanly possible to sign him would mean Bayern isn't doing its homework properly."
Bayern will face competition for his signature from national rivals Borussia Dortmund and top European clubs like Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, and Manchester City.
Matthaeus said the Werner deal is going to be the biggest transfer in Bundesliga history, adding that only a massive offer from abroad could spoil the deal for Bayern. Bayern will have to make an investment beyond the 100-million euro mark, said the 1990 World Cup winning captain.
The TV pundit is convinced Bayern could solve most of its problems by signing Werner. Despite having a contract with Leipzig that runs until 2020, the 22-year-old German international could be part of the Bavarians' new attack alongside Serge Gnabry (22), his teammate in the national team.
Werner would fulfill Bayern's claim to always have to best German internationals in their squad. "I'm sure it will turn out to one of the best investments in Bayern's history," Matthaeus said.
