"The development of transfer fees must be viewed in the context of club revenue. In 2000, FC Bayern's revenue was 283 million Deutschmarks, equivalent to 144.7 million euros; last year it was 951.5 million euros, more than six times as much. The transfer fees aren't the problem; they are amortized over the term of the contract. In Harry Kane's case, with a four-year contract, the 100 million euros burden FC Bayern with 25 million euros per annum."
"The bigger problem is the salary increases. We at FC Bayern also sometimes pay salaries that are too high for the value provided," said Rummenigge (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). The rising salaries are another issue that has been a topic of discussion at Sábener Straße. When asked whether Bayern can fix their rising wage bill, Rummenigge responded with enthusiasm: "Of course, as PSG demonstrated. You can turn everything back; you just have to implement changes intelligently and consistently."
Bayern Munich faces an increasingly expensive transfer market with rising transfer fees and player salaries. Several young players are attracting near nine-figure packages, and negotiations for Nick Woltemade reflect inflated asking prices. Club revenue rose from the equivalent of 144.7 million euros in 2000 to 951.5 million euros last year, more than sixfold. Transfer fees can be amortized across contract terms to reduce annual burden—for example, a 100 million euro fee over four years equals a 25 million euro annual cost. Rapid wage growth now represents the larger financial challenge, and contract decisions and consistent reforms can reduce the wage bill. Leroy Sané's contract expiry illustrates how individual contract outcomes can affect wage management.
