Bayern Munich, ex-sporting director Sammer: "Selling Kroos was a mistake, but it was also the right move for him"

German giants Bayern Munich are enjoying another impressive season as the are comfortably sailing towards their sixth consecutive Bundesliga title and towards the Champions League quarter finals after trashing Besiktas 5-0. Despite that, former sporting director Matthias Sammer believes that if they had kept Toni Kroos things would have been even better: "Maybe with Kroos Bayern would have won some more Champions Leagues, or at least they would have reached the final", Sammer says to Sport Bild. "Today I can say that I made a mistake letting him go, I tried everything I could to make him change his mind, also because I have known him since he was 16 or 17 years old. - continues the German Ballon D'Or winner - Of course, his departure didn't shake the foundations of the club, but it still is a very negative thing. Anyways, for Toni's personal developement it was the right choice".
