[Saba Sports News] FC Bayern Munich has not been having a smooth time in this summer’s player transfer market, and German media has also analyzed this situation. Borussia Dortmund previously sold 31-year-old striker Niclas Füllkrug for a total of around €30 million, whose market value was €15 million. In contrast, Bayern Munich is currently asking for a price significantly lower than the market value for the players they are selling. They are asking for €50 million for Matthijs de Ligt, with a market value of €65 million, but Manchester United is only willing to pay a base transfer fee of €30 million. In response, the German media stated, “The salaries of Bayern Munich players are too high. Players like Serge Gnabry and Leon Goretzka, who earn at least €15 million a year, are not willing to leave.”
Furthermore, statements made by Uli Hoeness have caused Bayern Munich’s asking price to plummet. This is because all clubs now understand that Bayern must sell players to make new signings. However, the new coach, Vincent Kompany, has handled the situation very tactfully. He has not resorted to extreme measures to force players to leave. On the contrary, he has suggested that everyone has a chance and encouraged players who are currently not in top form to stay and compete.
