Munich (dpa) – CEO Oliver Kahn also sees FC Bayern Munich facing major challenges due to lower international TV revenues compared to top clubs in other leagues.
There is a “landslide disproportion,” said the former national goalkeeper of “tz” and “Münchner Merkur”. “Currently, the annual income from international TV contracts in the Bundesliga is less than 150 million euros per year – the Premier League collects more than two billion euros in the same period.”
“Solutions are needed from the Bundesliga on how this huge difference can be reduced again,” emphasized Kahn. For the Munich team, it’s about “continuing to be one of the top 5 clubs in Europe within a strong, internationally competitive Bundesliga,” he said.
