Gadzooks! Bayern Munich will have even more transfer money next year

They don't need anymore players!

European giants Bayern Munich will have an extra €25 million a year to buy players after repaying loan 16 years early.

The German club will have a staggering amount more in the transfer kitty next season after paying off the cost of building the Allianz Arena ludicrously early. Munich’s CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge confirmed the news to the Bundesliga outfit’s official magazine.

We have financed the entire stadium privately.

For that we took exactly €346m into our hands in 2005 with a financing plan to 2030 – so 25 years. Now we have paid off the stadium completely after nine and a half years.

This means that Bayern Munich will now have even more to strengthen their squad (as if it needs much strengthening). A very scary thought when you look at the depth in their current squad.

Surely, wanting any more superstars would be just being greedy.
