FC Bayern Munich is facing an exciting summer of transfers. So far, the plan has worked out economically – it is possible that the next funds will flow soon.
Munich – At FC Bayern Munich, two former top bankers now set the tone: CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen (55) and his deputy and CFO (57) Michael Diederich. So much financial expertise pays off, as a look at the current transfer balance shows.
Born on:4. September 1967 (55 years) in Aurich, took office as FCB board chairman: 28. May 2023 Previous positions at FC Bayern: Chief Financial Officer (since February 2013) and Deputy Chairman (since February 2014)
Financial geniuses at FC Bayern are celebrating their first successes – the Kim deal is virtually free
Even if the change window only opened on July 1, it is clear that Dreesen and Diederich are extremely clever. In the sales negotiations for Lucas Hernandez (27), the Munich team showed a hard edge – and made it clear to those responsible at Paris Saint-Germain from the start that they would not let the player go for less than 50 million euros.
Ultimately, all parties agreed on a package of 45 million euros in fixed fees and 5 million euros in bonus payments, which can be achieved relatively easily. The new management duo always had the release clause of soon-to-be newcomer Min-Jae Kim (26) in the amount of 45 million in mind. Thus, the first royal transfer of the summer was bagged at virtually no cost.

Harry Kane before moving to Bayern? Second offer rejected
Speaking of Kim: The South Korean is currently still in South Korea and will only join the team after the Tegernsee training camp. While Kim’s purchase has already been refinanced, Bayern have to dig much deeper into their pockets for Tottenham Hotspur’s desired striker Harry Kane (29). But the banker gene comes through here too. The second offer of 80 million euros was rejected again on Monday. In view of Kane’s contract term until 2024, the internal pain threshold is 100 million euros, which could increase a little at most through bonus payments.
When asked about the 100 million mark in his first interview in Bayern-Magazin, Diederich already announced: “Basically, I don’t rule out anything in life. But I would always be the admonisher who says: Friends, beware! We also have to keep an eye on the second part of the scale, our profitability.”
Tottenham manager wants Kane ‘here’
There is still a risk of tough poker with Tottenham, especially since Spurs coach Ange Postecoglou dropped the following sentences on Monday about Bayern’s interest in Kane: “I want him here and I want to make this club successful. I’m sure he wants that too.”
However, the manager admitted that he had received no assurances that Kane would stay in London this summer: “You can never count on certainties with that kind of thing.” What is certain is that if Kane’s move goes through, it will be the most expensive transfer of the Munich club history.
Kim approaching, Kane on the brink, Mané and Pavard gone soon?
But Dreesen and Diederich also have refinancing options here: the sale of problem child Sadio Mané (31) could bring a lot of money into the coffers and also save a whopping annual salary estimated at 20 million euros. Tenor: Sometimes you have to be honest with each other and admit that it doesn’t fit. Especially if a sale is extremely lucrative from an economic point of view.
And then there is Benjamin Pavard (27), who is willing to change and whose market value is estimated at 40 million euros. After tz-There are two concrete interested parties who would have to put between 30 and 35 million euros on the table for him.
