Bayern Munich FC president, Herbert Hainer, wants the Bundesliga champions to concentrate more on developing young talent.

Bayern bought Dayot Upamecano and Marcel Sabitzer from RB Leipzig in the just concluded transfer window, but admitted they could not compete with richer European clubs in the market.

“Our path is very clear: We will focus even more on young talent and our campus,” the 67-year-old told Sport Bild on Wednesday.

The club said it was proud of the development of 18-year-old midfielder, Jamal Musiala, who had forced his way into the first team and now a regular in Germany’s squads.

Musiala actually learnt his trade in the Chelsea FC youth ranks.

Hainer also mentioned 21-year-old right back, Josip Stanisic, who was surprisingly elevated to the main squad this term under new coach, Julian Nagelsmann, and has played ahead of more established names.
