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.
