Over the last couple of weeks FC Bayern Munich has repeatedly commented on contract contents of Borussia Dortmund players. Hans-Joachim Watzke, Chairman of the Management Board, has now made a statement on this matter.

“Borussia Dortmund has noted with some irritation that Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is currently discussing internal BVB matters in a three-day rhythm in the media. We are sure that every person interested in football knows what the intention of such statements is. Through his conduct, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is approving that the already tense relationship between Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern Munich is further damaged. We, as an employer, will naturally remain committed to our policy of never discussing contract matters of our employees in the public.”
