Former Ghana defender Samuel Osei Kuffour has revealed his transfer fee to Bayern Munich was paid by Lothar Matthäus who was then a player of the Bavarians.

Matthäus, a German and Bayern Munich legend was then a player of the side and could not afford to see the club losing the Ghanaian.

Kuffour joined Bayern Munich from Torino in 1993 for a half a million dollars and the club was reluctant in paying that amount.

Lothar Matthäus volunteered to pay the transfer fee for the Ghanaian by challenging the club that the youngster will be a hit in Bayern.
