"Kompany stated, 'We're an active group together, Christoph, Max [Eberl], Jan [Dreesen] and myself. We always try to convince people. We work in a good atmosphere with a lot of respect.'"
"'At our age, you would have pushed as much as we did,' Kompany told Hoeneß, reflecting on the competitive nature of their roles in the transfer discussions."
"Simons moved to Tottenham Hotspur and looks nowhere near the reported €65 million that the Lilywhites paid RB Leipzig, raising questions about the transfer's value."
Uli Hoeneß prevented Xavi Simons' transfer to Bayern Munich, rejecting proposals from Vincent Kompany and Christoph Freund. Kompany acknowledged the collaborative efforts of the team but stated that decisions are ultimately made by the club. Simons subsequently transferred to Tottenham Hotspur for €65 million, a move that has not met expectations. Hoeneß's decision is viewed positively by younger members of the team, marking a significant moment in the club's approach to talent management.
