Uconsiders transfer market a complete farce according to Hoeneß
Bayern Munich Underdogs in European Cup Season, According to Hoeneß
Uli Hoeneß, the honorary president of Bayern Munich and a 1974 World Cup winner, has declared that the record champions from Munich are underdogs for the upcoming European Cup season. In a recent statement, Hoeneß expressed his concerns about the current state of the international football market, likening Bayern Munich's position to that of Hoffenheim.
Hoeneß's comments come as the English Premier League clubs have spent over 3.5 billion euros on new signings this summer, setting a new record. This financial power, according to Hoeneß, has made it difficult for Bundesliga clubs like Bayern Munich to sign national players, such as Florian Wirtz and Nick Woltemade, as they were unsuccessful in their attempts.
The long-time Bayern manager has urged the DFL to ensure that Bundesliga clubs never have to take money from Arab or American sources. He suggested that the Bundesliga should follow its own path and take a leading role, as the responsibility to oversee regulatory issues including investor involvement and financial rules in the Bundesliga lies primarily with Hans-Joachim Watzke, who remains the head of the German Football League (DFL).
Despite the challenges, Hoeneß has expressed excitement about the upcoming Champions League season. He warned, however, that the current situation in the international transfer market cannot end well. Hoeneß also stated that at some point, the public may question the sanity of the international football market.
Meanwhile, FC Liverpool has signed Florian Wirtz, a national player that Bayern Munich attempted to sign. Nick Woltemade, another national player Bayern Munich attempted to sign, now plays for Newcastle United.
Hoeneß was honored by the DFL for his services to German professional football with the honorary award. Despite his concerns about the financial power of the English Premier League and the current state of the international transfer market, Hoeneß did not express any specific concerns about Bayern Munich's financial situation in the current paragraph.
