[Saba Sports News] According to German media reports, former Bayern Munich player Paul Wanner signed a high-salary contract at the age of 16. This summer, Wanner moved from Bayern Munich to FC Eindhoven for €15 million. According to German media, some internal information about Wanner at Bayern Munich has come to light. Hasan Salihamidzic gave Wanner a contract worth €1 million per year when he was 16, which led to criticism from Uli Hoenes. The background was that Wanner had already reached an agreement with Wolfsburg to leave. To prevent his departure, Salihamidzic signed the high-salary contract, which earned him a severe reprimand from Hoenes. However, looking back now, Salihamidzic’s move brought a reward for Bayern Munich. This summer, Bayern Munich received €15 million from Wanner’s transfer. Besides Eindhoven, Stuttgarter Kickers, Mainz, Werder Bremen, and RB Leipzig were also interested in Wanner. According to German media, Wanner chose Eindhoven because they can play in the Champions League.
