"I think if you look at German football, all of them wanted to come here (to England), didn't they? All the players outside of Bayern, unique players, every one of them used to run to go to Bayern. They don't want to go to Bayern anymore," Yorke told FootItalia. "The whole world wants to come here to the Premier League."
"There is at least a bit of context needed as some players who Bayern Munich might have interest in can easily look at depth chart and see a very difficult pathway to consistent playing time or a starting job. While Yorke is correct in that the Bundesliga does lose some players when Premier League clubs come calling, it is not always about the bright lights on the island that is the big draw."
Florian Wirtz moved from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool, with Bayern Munich failing to secure the transfer. Multiple Bundesliga players have left for other leagues after links to Bayern Munich, including Omar Marmoush, Hugo Ekitike, and Benjamin Šeško. The trend shows growing migration of German talent to the Premier League and elsewhere. Contributing factors include a crowded Bayern squad that limits pathways to regular starts, significantly higher salary offers from foreign clubs, and clearer chances for consistent playing time at new destinations. Bayern’s historical domestic dominance in recruiting top league talent appears to be weakening amid stronger competition from abroad.
