FC Bayern gave its board more financial leeway for transfers a year ago. The “kicker” has now found out.
The FC Bayern supervisory board made a fundamental decision last year and adjusted an internal passage. While the board of the German record champions previously had to have every transfer approved by the supervisory board that exceeded a transfer volume of 25 million euros, this barrier was adjusted at the time, according to the trade journal.
Since then, transfers of more than 50 million euros only have to be checked by the control committee.
This means that the decision-makers around CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen and CFO Michael Diederich have greater scope for action. Should FC Bayern decide at its supervisory board meeting on February 28th that a new sports director should be hired, he should also benefit from the adjusted passage. Max Eberl has been considered the most promising candidate for months.
Bayern’s Zaragoza transfer completed quickly
Although the adjustment to the internal rule has been in effect for a year, the “kicker” now has a current example ready. Previously, the transfer of the Spaniard Bryan Zaragoza, whose move agreed for the summer was brought forward at short notice, would have first had to be approved by the supervisory board.
The transfer fee of a rumored 13 million euros, the three to five million euros loan fee that is now due due to the renewed negotiations with Granada FC, as well as the five-year contract with a salary of supposedly four million euros per year would have been approved a year ago of the control committee is needed.
Now, after Kingsley Coman’s injury, the Bayern board was able to act at short notice and decide on the Zaragoza deal without further approval.
