What? Bayern got Neuer that cost combined 30 mil very high sum back then biggest for a GK. Paid the RC for Gotze and Upamecano who cost 42 mil big money for apperantly a bad player that most fans of other teams called him. Then paid 38 mil for hummels also a lot of money for a player with 1 year left on his contract.The whole capitalism works like that. People invest to grow.
My point is, that barca didn't receive any gifts. The banks didn't give out that money, because their CEO was a culer. Barca built it's status over a 100 year old history. The club built up his worldwide fanbase and earned the current status, where they can sell levers or banks are willing to give loans equivalent to their income, which barca by the way have to pay back again, with their own money and interest.
How can you compare this to the situation where sugar daddies or states invest into football clubs for sports washing reasons and give out money without any requirement for free? Barca pays back it's debts. Where would PSG, City, Chelsea be if they had to pay back all their "debts"? Not on the football field anymore. If one side has to pay back and the other doesnt, who will benefit and break away from competition in the long term you think? That's my point.
Barca received last season €160m from the total pool of €1.42b. That's around 11%. Bayern received in the same season €90m from €1.06b, that's around 8.5%. So the difference is roughly 2.5%? I see neither making close to €200m, nor a big difference in distribution.
The only reason Bayern can compete on top level without spending much is their monopoly in germany. They act like a vacuum cleaner in germany and get all the best german or bundesliga players and talents either cheap or if those teams don't sell them on Bayern's terms, they simply wait until they become free agents because they don't fear a hijack from non existent competion. Lewandowski, Neuer, Upamecano, Nagelsmann, Goetze and many more. No top team in spain or england can get such players or even a coach that cheaply from direct competition. Bayern do, because they have none. Even Leipzig sold their best defender and their coach without much fuss. So please, stop showing Bayern off always as the best example. I don't deny that they handle their money responsibly, but they have unique conditions spanish and english top teams simply don't have. If Barca doesn't pay a high price for a spanish talent, then there is always a chance he goes to Atletico or Real and other way around.
The only player that Bayern probably had big advantage was Lewandowski who come for free but even with him it was lucky circumstances that he made a deal with Bayern early because surprise surprise Real also offered him much bigger salary but it was already done and dusted.
That period is already dead we now have players like Havertz,Werner, Nkunku, Gvardiol and many others leaving the BL because the BL teams cannot compete and other teams are throwing huge sums. Dortmund on the other hand is buying BL players much more compared to Bayern.
Real and Barcelona also have a unique advantage for la liga talent. Im lazy to count the players that signed for them from other la liga teams why did pedri signed for Barcelona? Here you go now he is worth more than a 100 mil. Nobody made Barcelona to go out and spent 300 mil on Dembele and Coutinho. Real can afford to pay close to 150-200 mil for 3 17 year old Brazilian talents even if they dont work they wont care. You simply will NOT see Bayern doing that in fact if Barcelona was in Germany that club wouldn't have existed anymore. Dont you think Bayern wants to get Mbappe? But how can they afford 200 mil and 50-100 mil a year. How can real afford that also when the yearly income between bayern and real is not so big.
Its a big cultural difference between spain and germany .
So Real and Barcelona are like the last who should cry about the suggar daddies but of course like i said they were top dogs in breaking the transfer fees and salaries and now they don't like it when they cannot persuade players joining because other teams offer more money.
Also making 70-80 mil less from tv rights is huge that like 4 world class players on a 20 mil a year wages.
