Bayern Munich: Four things to watch out for in 2021
Summer transfer strategy amidst restriction on big spending
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently admitted that transfer spending next summer is unlikely to be huge since games are still being played behind closed doors. There is no matchday revenue, so the club’s finances are affected and have an impact on potential transfers.
Die Roten were active during the last transfer window. They welcomed seven players last summer and parted ways with Thiago Alcantara. Few young players also left the club on loan deals. Despite so many arrivals, the total money spent by the club was not huge due to clever loan deals, free agents, and a couple of shrewd buys.
A similar approach might be needed next summer as they will need at least two additions to compensate for potential departures. Die Roten has not been scared to take a punt on loan deals in the past five seasons, so it will be an important type of deal next summer.
Along with loan deals, a sensible structure of deals could also be implemented to have a stable financial situation of the club along with meeting sporting ambitions. Die Roten has been efficient and smart in the transfer market for years. The upcoming summer window will be challenging, so there will be a lot of curiosity to see the club’s strategy to combat the situation.
