""This simply doesn't affect me, because a year and a half ago I didn't hear a word about a salary cap when [Bayer] Leverkusen and [VfB] Stuttgart finished ahead of us," Eberl stated in comments captured by @iMiaSanMia. "Now, a year and a half later, we've done a good job, we're all standing here together, doing very, very well, and are deservedly top of the Bundesliga. "But none of this was gifted to us. This [discussion] also shows the strength we have as FC Bayern.""
"In the present landscape, there is no way for the Bundesliga to impose a salary cap and expect its top teams to still compete with Europe - as other officials have already noted. This is a case of the other clubs in Germany needing to pick up the slack. Take clubs like Borussia Dortmund in recent years, or Eintracht Frankfurt now. Both have had exciting crops of talented players yield huge bundles of transfer income, but it has left the clubs adrift in each case."
Bayern Munich’s current dominance stems from club strength and successful management rather than any structural gift. A Bundesliga salary cap would likely hinder top teams’ ability to compete in Europe and is impractical in the present landscape. Responsibility lies with other German clubs to manage talent sales, reinvest transfer income wisely, and avoid poor coaching appointments. Recent examples show clubs selling valuable players then faltering due to unforced errors. Fans want a more competitive Bundesliga, but sustained competitive balance has been difficult to achieve amid these recurring mistakes.
