It seems Bayern president Uli Hoeness is tired of discussing the decision as he today pointed a finger at Bernat for nearly costing the Bavarians their Champions League progression against Sevilla last season.
"You keep asking why we sold Juan Bernat as if FC Bayern's well-being depends on him. When we played in Sevilla, he almost single-handedly made us get knocked out of the Champions League. That day, we decided that we wanted to let him go," Hoeness said at a press conference today.
According to Bild, PSG paid just €5 million to acquire the services of Bernat.
