Rumenigge slams Barcelona's signing of Griezmann

General Director of Bayern Munich Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has revealed that the sums that are being paid in the world of football are worrying him. Speaking to Bild, he said,

"The market has changed completely. What causes me concern is not only the amounts for transfer; 100 or 120 million euros are no longer spectacular.

I am much more worried about the salaries that are being paid, especially in Spain, England and Italy . The trend is going towards paying net salaries. We have to be careful not to destabilize our salary order. The dimensions are enormous, "

He also slammed Griezmann's move to Barcelona saying that it could act as a dangerous precedent as clubs could be forced to shell out huge amounts of money in the future.

"For example Griezmann, millionaire salary of two figures a year and net. All this must be multiplied by two since the club is responsible for paying taxes. "

He also added that Bayern Munich will not take part in these "crazy things".
