Karl-Heinz Rummenigge called the rise in football salaries a problem.
Idman.biz reports that the Bayern Munich Supervisory Board member said this in an interview with "Kicker."
He noted that the dynamics of transfer fees should be viewed in the context of clubs' revenues. In 2000, Bayern's revenue was 283 million Deutsche Marks, or 144.7 million euros. Last year, this figure reached 951.5 million euros, more than a sixfold increase.
Transfer fees are not such a big problem because these costs are amortized over the contract period. For example, the 100 million euro transfer fee for Harry Kane, spread over a four-year contract, costs Bayern only 25 million euros per year.
The real big problem is the increase in salaries. Sometimes at Bayern, we pay salaries that are excessively high compared to the club's benefits.
Is it possible to fix this?
Of course, PSG showed that it is possible to reverse everything, only smart and consistent changes need to be implemented.
Like in the case of Leroy Sane this summer?
His contract was ending. Everything else is his personal decision, and that decision should be respected.
