Bayern Munich's financial problems have surfaced.
Germany's TZ reported on the 13th (Korean time) 'Bayern is likely to put on hold construction projects worth millions of euros'
TZ says 'Bayern is trying to cut its finances. In addition to cutting the salaries of the players, the company has temporarily suspended large-scale construction projects. Bayern's recent leadership meeting held General Manager Max Ebe accountable and demanded a reduction in the team's salary is not without reason. According to German Bild, the leadership should raise funds through player sales this summer. This is because the cost of the team has reached an all-time high.

It is the financial problem that has hindered Bayern. Bayern overspent due to excessively high weekly wages and transfer fees for the team during Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic in the past. Some players, including Leroy Sane and Sergi Gnabry, who were recruited at the time, are still receiving higher weekly wages than their performances in Bayern. Moreover, Bayern's financial burden seems to have increased as high-level officials such as Alfonso Davis, Jamal Musiala, and Joshua Kimmich have recently renewed their contracts.
Bayern, which has grown troubled by financial problems, has even suspended plans to improve the team's training ground. TZ said 'Bayern postponed the renovation of the training ground and the performance center project as part of cost savings. The construction work has been postponed indefinitely. The cost is estimated at 150 million euros (about 225 billion won). Bayern's financial side played a decisive role in this postponement decision'

The financial problems of European big clubs have emerged several times in recent years. Manchester United, a prestigious English Premier League (EPL), also raised concerns about the deficit, with owner Jim Ratcliffe ordering the club's fiscal cuts. Barcelona, a prestigious La Liga club, has already been struggling to recruit and invest in the club due to financial problems for several seasons.
Bayern is considering ways such as prize money to solve this problem. TZ says 'Bayern is likely to meet its funding at the FIFA Club World Cup. Bayern can expect up to 120 million euros (about 180 billion won) in bonuses, he said, explaining that Bayern plans to fill its lack of finances with prize money.
