Bayern chairman admits Sanches signing was a "gamble"

Sanches signed for the German giants for a fee of €35 million from Benfica. 

The 18-year-old made just 35 appearances for the Portuguese side's first-team and Rummenigge admitted that he is not sure whether signing Sanches will work out. 

Of course, transfers like that are always a bit of a gamble," he told 'TZ'.

"But all clubs are on the lookout for players like them.    

"Had we not made a move for Sanches this early, we would not have stood a chance after the Euros. I am very happy that we had the courage to spend €35m on what was already an expensive deal. 

"He is a player who has a lot of personality and power for someone his age. I hope we will bring us a lot of joy". 

Do you think Sanches will prove to be a success at Bayern?
