Member of the Supervisory Board and Honorary President of Munich Bavaria Uli Genens He said sharply about the financial situation in world football, using Barcelona as an example of what you should not make clubs.

On the air of the German channel Sport1 Genness He noted that Bavaria would not pay inflated amounts for players such as Florian Vikoz or Nick Voltemade to avoid a financial crisis that has survived the Catalan Club:

“El (Max Eberl, Sports Director) wanted to buy a player, but we know that we have at the box office. It is just as important as sports success. Here is an example of Barcelona. You buy, you buy – and suddenly you have 1.2 billion debts. Goodbye, all the best,” he said.

Genness He also told about the tension between the club and Eberl’s management during the transfer market:

“It’s normal – not always agree. I also often argued with Rummenige, but when the door was closed, everything was getting well. Max is quite sensitive.”

Against the backdrop of rumors about the possible resignation of Eberl, Genness denied these assumptions:

“It is necessary to ask him what he thinks, but for us the council was not a topic at all.”

Despite the unsuccessful attempts to sign the Viecs and Voltemadewhich eventually found themselves in the Premier League, Genness defended the work of Bavaria in the transfer market:

“We are real winners of this market because we have a very strong team.” He also criticized the international market:

“It’s like a monopoly. You move to Paseo del Prado, Sheikh comes – and then you can buy,” Genness said.

We will remind, Bavaria offered an atlant of Lukman’s rent.
