FC Bayern gets a lot of criticism in the current transfer window. Also from expert Didi Hamann.
Football expert Didi Hamann sharply criticized FC Bayern Munich for the transfer of Luis Díaz. “Díaz is a very good footballer, but what Bayern is doing is not a business model. Getting a 28-year-old for this money, then paying him even more salary than he earned in England? Liverpool,” said Hamann to the Austrian portal “Today”.
FC Bayern has signed the Colombian from FC Liverpool for a transfer fee of up to 75 million euros. His contract runs until 2029, the winger is to earn a gross salary of 14 million euros. According to the “picture”, Díaz is said to have only earned 2.7 million euros net at the Premier League club.
Hamann also doesn’t leave much good at Bayern coach Vincent Kompany. The accusation: he does not let many young players play. “I heard that there have been talents there like not in ten years.” This should mean the Sky expert player like Lennart Karl or Jonah Kusi-Asare. However, at least Karl should have a lot of time in the new season.
Despite the criticism, Hamann says: “The German championship still leads only over Bavaria. Who else? Leverkusen will have a hard time, Leipzig will not be, the most likely Dortmund will be. The benchmark for Bavaria will be the Champions League.” For the German record champions and reigning champions, the competitive season starts on Saturday (8:30 p.m. in the T-Online Live ticker) in the Franz-Beckenbauer supercup against VfB Stuttgart.
