Ivan Rakitić on reports that he was offered to Bayern in 2019 but the club rejected him: "Honestly? I really didn't know anything about it. I think it's a pity that my friend Brazzo made that decision. I would have liked to play with Manu again" [@SPORT1]
Rakitic: "Jokes aside, we've talked about it once, but nothing more. To be part of FC Bayern would have certainly been a huge honor. What this club has built over the past few years is amazing. You can only congratulate the people in charge for that"
Rakitic: "Bayern are still the biggest address in Europe, even though they were knocked out of the Champions League."
Would you have liked to play for Bayern?

Rakitic: "Absolutely! I would have loved to play for Bayern. It's one of the biggest clubs in the world and with Manu & Toni (Tapalovic), I have two good friends. They're friends for life, part of my family. Unfortunately it didn't happen

Rummenigge says Bayern, BVB & PSG were not invited to the Super League: "No, none of us knew about this contract. The SL was set up in a legally & financially professional way - with just one mistake: they underestimated the reaction of the rest of the football family" [BamS] Image
Rummenigge: "If I had found out something about it before, I would have tried with all my power to prevent the Super League, together with our friends from Dortmund and Paris, among others."
Rummenigge: "FC Bayern is not available for such an event. We all have a clear stance here: You cannot separate yourself from the football family by organizing your own event at the expense of others."

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge: "It is a fact that Hansi Flick told us that he wanted to leave us after the season. We agreed that we would sit down after the game in Mainz" [BamS]
Rummenigge: "One thing has to be clear: if we are to comply with Hansi's request, all parties must work together to find a solution that FC Bayern is also satisfied with. We're talking about a coach who has achieved something historic with us & whose work we are very happy with"
When will the decision be made?

KHR: "After our game in Mainz we don't have a game for two weeks and a lot of time. But I have to say something fundamental about the whole situation, that's important to all of us: At the moment, the public is targeting Hasan Salihamidžić"

Hansi Flick: "This team has often shown its quality, a defeat like today happens. It's a pity we couldn't take the final step today. But you have to understand that the team is tired. Today we were too harmless" Image
Flick: "First of all, we have to pay Mainz a huge compliment. They did very well, were very compact and defended their goal brilliantly. In the first half we didn't do things the way we imagined, it wasn't a good game."
Flick: "We came in better in the second half. But the players have too many minutes in their legs. We just weren't strong enough today."

Jamal Musiala on his goals against Wolfsburg: "I'm just proud and happy. I always enjoy scoring goals. I was really happy that I scored two in one game. It was just a special moment" [fcb]
Musiala on his header: "After training I worked on my headers with Tiago Dantas. The others always make fun of my headers because it's not my strength. So I just did it to improve a bit. The Tiger (Hermann Gerland) was really happy and we just laughed and made a few jokes."
Musiala on his dribbling: "I've been practicing the movements since I was very young, in the garden or on the street. Now I feel very comfortable with it & know when and how to use it. I've already optimized it and keep working on it so that I feel even more comfortable with it"

Hansi Flick: "Lewy has a big goal (Gerd Müller's record). He's back in the squad for tomorrow just like Goretzka and Gnabry. Regarding Roca we have to wait for today's training. The squad is slowly returning back to normality. That's a good thing"
Flick: "The Bundesliga is the basis so we can play in the CL and win international titles. To be at the top over 34 matchdays, that is the most honest competition. We hope we'll secure the title tomorrow"
Flick on Lewandowski and Gerd Müller's record: "First of all, we have to win the title, that's the most important thing. Lewy was out for four weeks, but is in very good physical shape. We will of course support him, but the focus is on the title"

Herbert Hainer in BamS interview: "It was an incredibly intense year. In terms of football, we were as successful as never before and with many great moments, but also many challenges due to the pandemic. Overall, I think we've been doing well for the past 12 months"
You spoke about a loss in income of €100m last year. Will things get even worse?

Hainer: "The number you mentioned is correct and up to date. The €100m loss is primarily due to the lack of fans income. We will certainly not generate a profit in the current financial year"
Things are even worse for other top clubs. Are Bayern winners of this crisis?

Hainer: "We're leaders in economics even internationally. We have no debts, we own our stadium 100% and the campus is paid off. We are well positioned and will be stable going out of this crisis"
