In the Bundesliga the fear of Sale comes to. The financially strong English Premier League blows for full-scale attack on the players from Germany’s top flight.
Roberto Firmino to for 41 million euros to Liverpool, Bastian Schweinsteiger for 21 million Manchester United, and Shinji Okazaki for 11 million to Leicester City: The Bundesliga is trembling with the financial power of the Premier League and lost many prominent players. Through the multi-billion dollar new TV contract now brace themselves English middle-class clubs enormous transfer fees and salaries. Already nine players move in this summer from Germany to the island. However, the current transfer-offensive could be just the beginning.
In addition to the absolute top transfers of Schweinsteiger and Firmino, it is mainly the high sums for alleged average player, the Bundesliga club to concern are. “The new situation affects mainly the clubs from the middle and the bottom of the Bundesliga clubs there to pay their salaries per week, we per month -. Are the same but the amounts”, the Mainz manager Christian Heidel told the daily Die Welt .
So Kevin Wimmer moved for around seven million euros from 1. FC Köln to Tottenham Hotspur, Joselu for around eight million to Stoke City and Leicester City, the new club of Okazaki heard also not the first choice of football. “. The market has gone mad Englishmen can pay three to four times more,” said Gladbach coach Lucien Favre in an interview with the Rheinische Post and Heidel noted: “England is our new competition”
The big money comes only
The current exchange period is perhaps even a gentle breeze from the impending storm. Because of the new TV contract in England flushes really only from the next but one season good EUR 3.2 billion annually into the coffers of the club. Because the German Football League (DFL) is planning for the 2016/17 season with relatively modest revenue of 835 million euros, it is feared in Germany at the latest the final island exodus.
“It is impossible to compete with the English. If you want, you can buy any player, “Favre complained in Kicker interview. Ralf Ragnick, although even when generously alimentierten RB Leipzig in the responsibility, even warned: “It seems to many not even be aware of the implications will have.”
Rangnick expects fixed so that “from next summer in the transfer market, the wildest things will happen.” Wool Germany close the gap to the British giant, you therefore must develop new ways of television marketing. The recently came to the DFL plans to introduce five Monday games in the Bundesliga should entirely to the taste of the Swabian “football professor” be.
other way out searches against Heidel. “The English club have money in abundance, so we have to bring it to us and try anyway to remain competitive,” said the 52-year-old. When it comes to the Bundesliga Heidel forms of their players in the future by yourself out. “From Shinji Okazaki is now a new turf field,” he says: “Out of the ordinary budget that was not feasible.” (Sid)
