Although he resigned from Bayern Munich some time ago, former club boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is still very close in Munich. He sees huge problems for the opponents of the German record champions.
When Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was asked about FC Bayern’s reorganized squad during a round of talks on Sylt on Thursday, the 66-year-old went straight into raptures.
“The offensive with Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman, Sadio Mané, Leroy Sané and Jamal Musiala is the fastest in Europe,” said the ex-professional, “there’s incredible speed in the game. It won’t be easy for the defense of all 17 Bundesliga teams. “
However, investments like those in Mané or Matthijs de Ligt should also pay off, said Rummenigge, who sits on the UEFA Executive Committee. However, the newcomers need time to get used to them.
“They have invested 200 million euros in their central defense alone. You have to see this amount of money as quality on the pitch,” said the long-time CEO, whose place has now been taken by Oliver Kahn.
FC Bayern has invested almost 140 million euros in newcomers
In addition to Mané and de Ligt, the German industry leader also brought Ryan Gravenberch, Noussair Mazraoui and Mathys Tel to Säbener Straße. Almost 140 million euros were invested in it.
In return, with Robert Lewandowski (FC Barcelona) and Niklas Süle (Borussia Dortmund), only two real top performers have left the club, which has not yet completed its personnel planning.
On Friday evening, FC Bayern will open the new Bundesliga season with an away game at Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt (from 8:30 p.m. in the LIVE ticker). In the following week, VfL Wolfsburg travels to the Allianz Arena.
