Overview

• Hoeneß tells SPORT1 the Inter transfer brought in about 11 million Deutsche Mark, which he says erased roughly 7 million in debt, financed the signings of Lothar Matthäus and Roland Wohlfarth, and seeded a fixed-term deposit.
• He portrays Rummenigge as pivotal to Bayern’s evolution into a global brand through his impact as a star player and later as a top executive.
• He recalls heated boardroom arguments that, he says, never damaged their long-standing personal friendship.
• He says Rummenigge’s return to Bayern’s supervisory board has been good for the club and hopes they remain colleagues for a long time.
• The interview is framed as Hoeneß’s personal recollections tied to the 70th birthday tribute rather than independently verified financial documentation.
