I wouldn't assume all the sources that mentioned this deal were bullshitting though. We had turkey, germany and italian sources being on the same page at certain points. Even biasin who practically lives in ausilio basement was firmly on the board regarding hakan-bayern connections
What I assume happened though, and this is only my theory, given hakans healthy dose of ego he quickly figured bayern is using him as a bargaining chip to get palhinha, and he took it personally as people would say and everything fell apart...
There no smoke without fire. In this case I think it’s certain there where some truth in the matter.
It’s nice he tries to put it to the rest, but I think we should be careful about thinking it equals that it somehow equals that he will stay in the end or that he will refuse BM if they come at a later point… Players say so much bs these days that I simply stopped believing much of anything they say, especially when it comes to loyalty declarations.
Also it’s unclear at this point if Bayern withdraw their interest or not, if so it’s a free lunch stating such things
