Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has suggested that Marc Roca might not have quite made it at the Allianz Arena.
The Spanish midfielder left the German giants in the summer after two years at the club to join Leeds United. He has since started every Premier League game next to fellow new arrival Tyler Adams.
But after only making 24 appearances in total across two seasons with the Bundesliga champions, Salihamidzic has admitted he was signed as someone who they could sell on to fund bigger moves after Covid-19 disruptions to their usual revenue streams. Bouna Sarr and Leroy Sane were also signed in the same summer as Bayern looked to balance the books during the pandemic.
