Netzer: Hargreaves not worth it

German legend Gunther Netzer believes Bayern Munich should accept Manchester United's offer for Owen Hargreaves because he is not worth €30 million.

Netzer, speaking in his Bild column, believes that if reports of a raised bid from United are true, then Bayern should cash in on the England international.

"It was correct of Uli Hoeness and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge that they decided to keep Hargreaves," he stated. "Not like Hamburg did [with Daniel van Buyten and Khalid Boulahrouz].

"They pointed out their expectations to the player and called in his loyalty.

"Now the conditions have changed.

"Manchester United have again increased [their bid].

"If the sum of €30 million is really true, I can only say: Now they must sell Hargreaves!

"Because he's not of that value and, secondly, they could buy an alternative player.

"Because it is clear - Hargreaves is a good and important player for Bayern.

"But he is completely and surely not worth €30 million."
