Hoeness said Zahavi is seeking a substantial fee for negotiating a deal, claiming he wanted something in the double-digit million range to secure Alaba s signature.
That is not possible at all, Hoeness said.
The world s top agents can often earn huge sums, but Hoeness, who has stepped back from his previous role to become an honorary Bayern president, says Alaba should focus on what he wants from the rest of his career.
Austrian Alaba joined Bayern s academy in 2008 and has since gone on to win nine Bundesliga titles. He is reportedly admired by the likes of Manchester City and Barcelona.
It s really all about money, Hoeness said. He s already with the best club in the world, where else should he go? I think he shouldn t let himself be influenced from outside.
I hope that David and his father understand that a four or five-year contract with Bayern is the best for them and they fit into our salary structure. Then everyone would be happy.
The last millions that are involved don t make him happier, but they would mess up our salary structure. That s why the club has to be very tough on this.
