Hollowed the Bundesliga! Bayern coach Kompany sighed: Premier League teams are too rich

Bayern coach Kompany lamented the "money ability" of Premier League clubs at a press conference in Munich on Friday. At the same time, many media in Germany and England reported that the former Bayern prey Nick Waltermad will join Newcastle.

The young Belgian coach who once won the Premier League four times at Manchester City and led Burnley to the Premier League successfully, smiled and replied: "Money."

"The year we brought Burnley to upgrade, the TV broadcast fee was 100 million pounds - just a newly promoted team. In the transfer market, we wanted to compete with Frankfurt and Wolfsburg; now Sunderland buys people, and they all dig from Leverkusen."

As one of the few clubs that can "sell wallets" with Premier League giants, Bayern missed the number one target Wilz this summer - the German international finally transferred to Premier League champion Liverpool with 125 million euros (145 million US dollars) plus floating terms.

Waltermad is also a key prey in Bayern, but Stuttgart gave up because Bayern did not meet the asking price. German and British media disclosed on Friday that Waltermad will join with a record 85 million euros (including floating).

Although the summer window has not been closed, the Premier League's top players have spent a total of about 2.7 billion pounds (3.1 billion euros, 3.6 billion US dollars) to sign up before the start of the season. In addition to Werz, there are also Flynnon and Zachar of Leverkusen, Ekitic of Frankfurt, Gittens of Dortmund, and Sesco and Simmons of Leipzig, etc. that have landed in England one after another.

Bayern sports director Froinde, sitting next to Kompany, said bluntly that the purchasing power of the Premier League is "brutally" and "extreme". "Newcartes is indeed a good club, but it has not been among the top in recent years. So many Bundesliga players have flowed to the Premier League, and the transfer fees are often tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, which itself shows the problem."

However, it is not a one-way flow. Bayern signed Louis Dias from Liverpool with a maximum of 75 million euros; Leverkusen introduced Liverpool central defender Kunsa; Dortmund brought back four players from the Premier League in one go, including Job Bellingham and Chuk Umeka.
