Rummenigge took the proposal to then-CFO <strong>Karl Hopfner<\/strong> and club icon <strong>Uli Hoene\u00df<\/strong>. After two hours of intense discussion, the trio reached a fundamental decision that still guides Bayern Munich today:<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"auto\">\n<p dir=\"auto\">\u201cIn the future, we would never sell a player we would miss on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"auto\">This <strong>unwritten rule<\/strong> remains in effect. Rummenigge added:<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"auto\">\n<p dir=\"auto\">\u201cThis unwritten rule still applies today. For a player like Olise, there\u2019s no price tag that would make us flinch.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"auto\">The former Bayern CEO emphasized that having \u20ac200 million in the bank wouldn\u2019t help the fans if the team played worse football without its star players. Fans come to the Allianz Arena to watch exciting attackers like Olise, not to see financial transactions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bayern Munich has sent a clear message to Europe\u2019s biggest clubs: Michael Olise is not for sale \u2014 at any\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":217,"featured_media":50544,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[221,5329],"class_list":["post-50543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-bayern-munich","tag-l-michael-olise"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50543","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/217"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50543"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50543\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50546,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50543\/revisions\/50546"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50544"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
