Philipp Lahm: Playing for Bayern Munich is "privilege"

Philipp Lahm suggests that Toni Kroos should think twice about leaving Bayern Munich in the summer, should he be offered a move elsewhere.

Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm has warned potential summer departee Toni Kroos that playing for the Bavarian giants is an "absolute privilege".

Lahm said that he understood why Kroos might be considering his options, but does not think clubs get any bigger or better than Bayern.

"It is normal that one explores their position and negotiate," he told Bild. "If you currently play for Bayern there are few alternatives, if any, though.

"It is, in my eyes, an absolute privilege to play here because the team simply has the mentality to win. Many players want to come to Bavaria. So you have to think carefully about whether you leave a club like this at the moment."

Bayern are currently 13 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga.
