Berlin: Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has accused English clubs of effectively &ldquo;kidnapping&rdquo; young players from overseas.
Bayern are due to open the doors on a new youth academy in the north of Munich in the summer, and Rummenigge has declared he would have &ldquo;moral reservations&rdquo; about filling it with pre-teens from other countries.
&ldquo;We don&rsquo;t want to bring some 10 or 11-year-old to Munich like the English do,&rdquo; he said in comments published in the club&rsquo;s magazine.
&ldquo;You could almost speak of kidnapping with them and I would have moral reservations about that.&rdquo;
Rummenigge still hopes to lure the best local talent to the record champions, from the age of 14 upwards, with the focus on youngsters in and around Bavaria. &ldquo;Our priority will certainly be Germany and Bavaria,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Our future talented players will much rather come from Rosenheim than Rio.&rdquo;
