Oliver Kahn believes that the decision by Florian Wirtz to choose Liverpool FC over Bayern Munich reflects a broader trend of players favoring the Premier League over the Bundesliga. Kahn emphasizes that the Premier League offers greater attractiveness due to its global reach and marketing opportunities. He questions the appeal of consistently becoming champion in the Bundesliga compared to the allure of the Premier League, which presents more visibility and competitive challenges for aspiring players with ambitions such as winning the Ballon d'Or.
"I'm not sure it's about the clubs. I think it's first about the league. I don't know whether it's a problem for Bayern or a problem for the Bundesliga."
"As a player, the Premier League is the most attractive league: from a sporting, economic and media perspective. The marketing opportunities are global in the Premier League."
"When you think: okay, now I go to FC Bayern and become German champion for the 16th, 17th, 18th time - is that really appealing to me?"
