Dresen: There are already many Walter Mads quotations for 55 million euros, and Stuttgart was not sold at that time

In an interview, Bayern CEO talked about topics such as the team's signing situation this summer and the Premier League's revenue. He said he did not agree that the Bundesliga was regarded as a league that trains players, because Premier League clubs' records in the Champions League and Europa League could not convince him.

Wilz went to Liverpool, Waltermad went to Newcastle, will Bayern never get the players they want again?

- This statement is a bit exaggerated, and in my opinion, it is not true, and Bayern is still one of the most attractive clubs in the world. Both of them moved to the Premier League – but at the same time, we signed two players from England, Louis Dias and Nicholas Jackson. In addition, I would like to remind everyone that we signed Harry Kane two years ago.

But many people think that the Bundesliga is now a league that trains players - not so. At present, only the Premier League can afford high transfer fees, and higher salary and broker fees are the bigger problems. For Walter Mad, we have set a financial cap and we are very eager to sign him. There are already many quotes for €55 million. Stuttgart said at the time that Waltermad would not be sold no matter how much money it costs. Apparently, they later changed their minds. In the discussion about the so-called training of players, one aspect seems to be overlooked.

What aspect?

- English club's record in the Champions League and Europa League. They have won two of eight titles over the past four years. If other leagues are just leagues that train players, why can't Premier League clubs win at least one of the championships every year? We have to separate two things: money and competitive performance. Of course, we have to put in a huge effort to keep our top players, especially if other clubs have already given huge offers.

How to achieve this?

- Most importantly, we must provide them with a competitive and economic perspective and be creative.

What is the biggest challenge Bayern faces at present?

-Keep our international competitiveness.

How to do it?

—We must work harder and control costs. The Premier League’s TV revenue is very considerable and we have to take a different approach. We rank in the top three in European football in terms of marketing and sponsorship revenue. Nevertheless, we must continue to increase these revenues. If we can't do this, the future will be difficult. We hope to achieve further growth here, especially in the international market. That's why we are promoting the Bayern brand around the world, organizing international friendly matches and tours.
