Leipzig are the one German club that can resist Bayern's money (Red Bull funding) and are absolutely determined to do so. Not sure he is as good as Monty is making out (and has been poor for a lot of this season, possibly because of the impending move) so probably not on Real and Barca's radar yet. Will be interesting to see him against Napoli this week

Bayern and/or Spanish clubs cannot sign every player in club football.
In this case the player had a fixed transfer clause, agree to pay that full amount and the job’s a good one.
If a team such as Liverpool, which to the player is an appealing move due to it being step up from RBL in terms of stature and probably personal earnings, act quickly and aggressively in the transfer market then there is little these other sides can do.
