Hoeness though, has insisted that it’s up to Bayern where the Colombian ends up next term – not the player himself.

“It all depends on what our coach decides,” Hoeness, speaking to Sport1, said of the unilateral purchase clause inserted in the midfielder’s loan agreement.

“If he [Kovač] says he wants James for next season, we’ll pay the €42m. It is up to us what happens.

“We have an option we can either trigger before May or not. If we decide that’s what we will do, he will have to stay.

“But we haven’t yet made any decision on the subject.”
