In a recent interview, Hasan SalihamidžiÄ defended his record as Bayern Munich's sporting director, addressing concerns regarding the clubâs rising wage bill. He emphasized the importance of context in contract negotiations, citing the team's successful history as Champions League winners. He highlighted the balanced management of Bayern's finances, mentioning a record-breaking transfer window in 2022 where player sales exceeded â¬100 million. SalihamidžiÄ asserted that all player investments were made collaboratively with the supervisory board, demonstrating a commitment to financial stability throughout his tenure, even during challenging pandemic years.
To be fair, you must always view that in the context of the time at which the individual contracts were signed. We were Champions League winners, the best team in Europe.
I always kept an eye on the club's financial situation. We earned more than â¬100 million from player sales in the 2022 transfer window.
During my time at Bayern, we always maintained a balance between turnover, revenue, and costs; the club had a positive result every year, even during pandemic years.
Our task was to retain the key players of that successful team in the long-term... the players were at their prime footballing age.
