Bayern Munich chief, Max Eberl has come out to blast Real Madrid’s signing of Kylian Mbappe. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the signing is nothing short of greedy as far as he is concerned, and it is clear that Real Madrid got their man because they offered a massive signing-on bonus and mammoth wages.
Eberl added that every player or club who is a money-grubbing person will gradually become the nail in football’s coffin.
His words, “You can always become more of a money-grubbing person, but everyone who is a money-grubbing person will gradually become the nail in football’s coffin. If all the money goes out [of the market] at some point, then there will be nothing left for us to do business with. We’re talking about hundreds of millions. That’s too much and at some point you get the feeling that it will burst.
At some point it will be oversaturated and Saudi Arabia will come along. That doesn’t feel very good. I have to say that to be fair, but that’s the market right now. The money is leaving the market. No club benefits from it. Players, families, agents, everyone benefits, but not the clubs. In the past, at least clubs profited. The money stayed in the cycle and that will become less and less now.”
WOW.
