Hansi Flick has admitted that he wanted three players currently at Chelsea to be added to his Bayern Munich squad, but maintains that he has suffered no falling out over transfers with sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic.

Flick told Sky Deutschland amid reports that a failure to land top targets has led to a strained relationship with Salihamidzic: “It is always said that [Callum] Hudson-Odoi and [Serginho] Dest were my desired players, but they were our desired players.

“We decided that we wanted to add players for the wide areas and that is what we did. [Kai] Havertz, [Timo] Werner and [Leroy] Sane were mentioned, I would have loved to have all three, but we all decided on Sane. He’s a player who makes a difference.”
