""We at Bayern Munich, in particular, have proven this year that we've recognized the signs of the times. The moment we realized our cash reserves were dwindling, we slammed on the brakes," Hoeneß explained, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. "Our transfer balance is very even, and we're also in the process of reducing the size of our squad. If we had signed all the players we discussed, we wouldn't have any cash reserves left today and would have had to take out loans to finance them.""
""On the contrary," Hoeneß said, as again captured by @iMiaSanMia. "We deliberately gave our youngsters chances. Had we brought in more players, the coach would have been obligated to use them. But then [Lennart] Karl wouldn't play, perhaps [Josip] Stanišic or [Aleksandar] Pavlović wouldn't either. Our success reinforces our belief that this must be the path for FC Bayern. We won't be making any big pronoun"
Bayern Munich moved in 2025 to reverse a trend of operating close to unprofitability by prioritizing profitability and cash preservation. The club recorded a net profit in the transfer window for the first time since 2018 and deliberately reduced squad size to lower costs. Executives halted multiple proposed signings to avoid exhausting cash reserves or taking out loans. Young players were given opportunities instead of new arrivals, and the smaller squad has not harmed sporting performance so far. Sporting success has reinforced the decision to continue this conservative transfer and squad management approach.
