The Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are still being linked with Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey. However, manager Niko Kovac has rubbished all such rumours and has not taken kindly to the "false news."

Speaking to the press after Bayern's pre-season loss to Tottenham Hotspur on penalties, Kovac said:

"I am not responsible for transfers but I have to say something regarding this."
"I find it extraordinarily strange that you can blurt something out and nothing happens. You can just say something but it's not true.
"If you communicate something like this, there must be undeniable proof. Otherwise you cannot spread it as news.
"I would ask you to check it. It's not true, it's not verified. It's false."

Bailey signed a new contract last August and is contracted with the club until 2023.
