FC Bayern has already made a big impact on the transfer market. But the well-known and expensive commitments from Sadio Mané, Matthijs de Ligt and Co. will not remain the only ones. At least that’s what BVB managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke believes, for whom the Munich shopping spree comes as no surprise.
At the end of a memorable transfer summer, FC Bayern could have spent well over 150 million euros to supplement and improve their squad and prepare for their return to Europe’s top four. The record champions have not yet exceeded this limit, but BVB Managing Director Hans-Joachim Watzke is firmly convinced that the people of Munich are far from finished with their shopping tour.
“When I read the optimism of Salihamidzic Junior and the like on Twitter, then there is obviously still a lot going on,” said the Dortmund club leader to “Sky”. The son of Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic had commented several times on Twitter in the past few days, not only mocking BVB, but also praising his father’s transfers and predicting a huge summer of transfers.
For Watzke, there is no question that FC Bayern will soon announce the next deal.
“And I also hear a thing or two on the market. I think the topic is not over yet and you can congratulate them directly on the transfers,” explained the BVB boss, who explained the big competitors in his role as DFL The head of the supervisory board praised: “In my opinion, they did a good job. That’s good for the league.”
Bayern’s shopping spree doesn’t surprise BVB boss Watzke
FC Bayern’s shopping spree for Watzke didn’t come out of nowhere. Although those responsible in Munich have repeatedly emphasized in recent months that they cannot keep up with the price gouging on the transfer market, he already knew “that Bayern Munich was able to do great things on the transfer market,” said Watzke.
However, the new players are not synonymous with sporting success for the Dortmund managing director. And so he also refrained from hoisting the white flag before the season started. “We’ll wait and see what they make of it,” Watzke doesn’t want to congratulate FC Bayern just yet.
