Every season, Bayern Munich earns a tremendous amount of money, and this season is no different.
According to Sky Sports (via) @iMiaSanMia) Bayern has already accumulated more than 100 million euros in revenue from the Champions League. Their income comes from a combination of UEFA bonuses of 86 million euros and television and matchday income of 25 million euros. Bayern could win even more prize money as each semi-finalist will receive €12.5 million, the runners-up €15.5 million and the winner €20 million.
In last summer's transfer window, Bayern's decision-makers pulled the trigger to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham for an initial fee of 95 million euros (Transfermarkt).
The deal was seen by many as not only a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who left before the start of the previous season, but also an attempt to add the final piece to a side that fans hoped would win the treble. This hasn't gone completely to plan, with depth issues plaguing the team in the first half of the season, coupled with manager Thomas Tuchel's inability to make things work at Bayern.
Although Bayer Leverkusen almost won the league and Bayern were eliminated from the DFB Pokal, their hopes of winning the treble are completely gone, but the Champions League is still a competition that could bring the Bavarians a trophy this season.
If Bayern win the Champions League, Adidas investors will be able to invest a total of 143.5 million euros, plus additional TV and matchday revenue and the possibility of increased kit sales after the win. Determined income will also be added. .
But what are the chances of Bayern winning the Champions League? Do they really need to spend all this money on transfer fees when they could spend more on social and environmental issues? (If Jan Christian Dresen is reading this, this writer (We intend to prepare a great pitch for potential programs, including development) Environmental initiatives in low-income countries are not just out of genuine goodwill, but also improve public perception of the club and increase awareness in those countries. It's also to grow the brand and sell carbon credits if you like (I know you like money)? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
