Overview
- Speaking at a Frankfurt School of Finance & Management event, Uli Hoeneß argued Bayern is a club that buys rather than sells and warned that repeated big-money departures erode a team’s substance.
- Eintracht sporting director Markus Krösche responded on ZDF’s Aktuelles Sportstudio, saying Bayern will also lose players in the future and stressing that the market has shifted in favor of wealthier foreign clubs.
- Krösche cited Michael Olise as a hypothetical example of a player who could seek Real Madrid, noting reports of elite interest as he emphasized that opportunities to move now arise more readily.
- Frankfurt’s recent record sales include Randal Kolo Muani to PSG for €95m in 2023, Omar Marmoush to Manchester City for €75m in January 2025, and Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool for €95m in summer 2025.
- Goal.com reports Eintracht currently sit seventh in the Bundesliga, putting European qualification at risk unless other results in the DFB-Pokal open an extra league berth.
