Salihamidzic says Bayern will consider Matthaus' call to sign Pulisic

Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic says the club will consider ideas from Lothar Matthaus — including his suggestion the club should sign Christian Pulisic. 

The American teenager impressed for Borussia Dortmund in their 3-1 loss to Bayern on Saturday, leading Bayern legend Matthaus to call for the Bavarians to consider signing Pulisic

"If Bayern Munich someday looks for a replacement for Robben and [Franck] Ribery, then they have to put out their feelers for Pulisic," Matthaus told Sky.

"He is 19 years old and has high quality." Matthaus continued. "With his confidence and his speed, he is called to higher [things]."

Salihamidzic said that Bayern are willing to consider any ideas from Matthaus, who won seven Bundesliga titles during his time at the club. 

"Lothar always has great ideas, and I respect him a great deal," Salihamidzic told Sky. "I will incorporate his ideas into our deliberations."

Pulisic has two goals and one assist in Bundesliga play this season, starting nine of Dortmund's 11 league matches.
