Bayern Munich have not changed their transfer policy, according to club president and chairman of the supervisory board Karl Hopfner.

Hopfner, who has worked at Bayern in various positions since 1983, succeeded Uli Hoeness as president after he was imprisoned following his tax evasion trial earlier this year.
The 62-year-old was elected into the role in May, and on Monday he was chosen as the club's new chairman of the supervisory board until the end of 2015.
While he mainly leaves the day-to-day business to Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and sporting director Matthias Sammer, he is aware of his new function at the club.
The supervisory board appoints the board of executive and also has to approve major decisions, such as contract talks with coach Pep Guardiola.
"We'd certainly approve that," Hopfner told kicker about a possible new deal for the Spaniard, who is currently under contract until 2016. "But the board of executives decides."
Guardiola's influence at the club came under scrutiny this summer when he brought in three Spanish players during the transfer window.
Die Welt warned that Bayern were drifting away and turning into an "Espanol Bayern," with 10 Spaniards, including players and staff, working at the club.
"I can't listen to all this talk anymore. It's nonsense. We signed Xabi Alonso because of Javi Martinez's injury, [Pepe] Reina joined us from Napoli, and [Juan] Bernat replaces [Diego] Contento," Hopfner said.
"We sign a player when we can sign them, and those transfers have nothing to do with Guardiola. They could be from Spain, but also from America or from God knows where."
Bayern also brought in Medhi Benatia from Roma for 26 million euros, with the centre-back another replacement for Martinez, who featured in defence until he tore his anterior cruciate ligament in August.
Kicker questioned the signings of Benatia and Bernat, to which Hopfner replied: "All Italian football insiders say that Benatia was the best centre-back in Serie A last season. Bernat is 21. And we don't have to talk about Xabi Alonso, he is a world star."
Kicker, however, argued that Alonso will turn 33 soon, to which Hopfner said: "I repeat: He is a world star. And at this age you don't have to retire from football.
"At Schalke [in Alonso's first game] you already saw his personality, he belongs to the category of a top player. And we have not changed our transfer policy -- [Gianluca] Gaudino and [Lucas-Julian] Scholl are coming through the ranks, also [Pierre-Emile] Hojbjerg."
Meanwhile, Alonso may miss out on making his home debut against Stuttgart on Saturday, according to Bild.
The former Real Madrid man is reportedly nursing a foot problem and was limited to only 20 minutes of running during Wednesday's training session.
