Lothar Matthaus backed Bayern Munich's spending ahead of next season and thinks it can stop the Bundesliga giants slipping further behind the rest of Europe's elite.
Bayern on Wednesday announced Lucas Hernandez will arrive from Atletico Madrid for a fee of €80 million (£68m/$90m) at the end of the season, while the club in January shelled out a reported €35m (£31m/$40m) to secure the signature of Benjamin Pavard from the 2019-20 campaign.
The Bavarian side have won six consecutive Bundesliga titles but are being pushed harder by Borussia Dortmund this term, while Niko Kovac's men were knocked out of the Champions League by Liverpool at the last-16 stage.
