The club's former manager has warned the Bundesliga champions off signing the Real Madrid superstar fearing his wages could tear the side apart
Ottmar Hitzfeld claims Bayern Munich should steer clear of signing Cristiano Ronaldo as his financial demands could create a whole host of problems at the Allianz Arena.
Ronaldo was loosely linked with the Bundesliga champions after reports emerged of his apparent unhappiness in Madrid due to Spanish tax authorities launching an investigation into claims of impropriety - allegations the player denies.
But, while conceding recruiting someone of Ronaldo's ability would be a dream from a playing perspective, Hitzfeld, who guided Bayern to five Bundesliga titles across two spells in charge, also outlined the problems it could cause to team unity.
