Stefan Effenberg Makes Bus Driver Jibe over Bayern's €80M Lucas Hernandez Deal

Former Bayern Munich player Steffan Effenberg has criticised the €80 million fee paid by the club for Atletico Madrid defender Lucas Hernandez and joked it could lead to them splashing out a big sum on a bus driver.

Bayern announced in March they had agreed a deal to recruit Hernandez this summer.

Former midfielder Effenberg told T-Online (h/t Goal's Stephen Crawford):

"If we look at the transfer fee paid for Hernandez, we can assume that there is only one winner: Atletico Madrid.

"The sum might seem normal in today's transfer market but it gives me a stomach ache.
