Bundesliga should grateful to Bayern for buying Lewandoski and Gotze

Thegoalmac can reveal that Bayern Munich president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge feels the Bundesliga should be grateful that they signed Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski from Borussia Dortmund as the duo would no longer be playing in Germany otherwise.

There is a bit of truth in what Mr Rummenigge is saying though, because if Bayern didn't sign them, some other big clubs from outside Germany would have, so he a point. But that ensured also that German Bundesliga will remain a one man league for some years to come. Continue for wha Mr Rummenigge said.
"I've been asking myself for weeks what exactly our job is. It's about ensuring the quality of the team and making sure we can be successful," Rummenigge was quoted as saying by Spiegel.

"Why is there so much discussion when we sign a player from one of our rivals? If we hadn't signed Gotze and Lewandowski, they would be playing abroad now rather than in the Bundesliga.

"Both players make the Bundesliga a more attractive league. Gotze had a crazy offer from Manchester City and Real Madrid were desperate to sign Lewandowski. Would that have been better for the Bundesliga...

"Then again, Bayern also care about a competitive Bundesliga. We need more than one team carrying the league."

Reus, 25, has a contract with Dortmund until 2017, but could leave the club at the end of the season for a fee of €25 million due to a buyout clause in his existing deal.
