| Thomas Muller was the subject of an extremely lucrative bid during the transfer window |
BAYERN MUNICH president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge claims he turned down a huge offer for forward Thomas Muller this summer, although he did not announce where the bid came from.
Manchester United had a £60million bid rejected for the German international as Louis van Gaal looked to strengthen his forward line.
Express Sport exclusively revealed Muller's desire to move away from the Allianz Arena last month, and the 24-year-old was also linked with a move to Real Madrid.
However the Bundesliga champions refused to sell their star striker during the transfer window, despite Rummenigge revealing there had been a hefty sum on the table at one point.
He said: "I'm talking about figures which were very high indeed. If I were a bank manager then I would have had to accept it.
"But as a football club we allowed ourselves to close the door on it, and this door is remaining closed. I can promise that to everybody.
"But one thing is for certain, in view of the increased television money in England things are not going to get any easier for Bayern in future."
