""That's an exaggerated statement, and in my opinion, it's not true," said Dreesen (via @iMiaSanMia). "FC Bayern remains one of the most attractive clubs in the world. Both of them moved to the Premier League - but at the same time, we also signed two players from England, Luis Díaz and Nicolas Jackson. And let me remind you that we signed Harry Kane two years ago.""
"Bayern Munich's summer transfer window got off to a rocky start when 22-year-old Bayer Leverkusen attacker and German international Florian Wirtz spurned the Rekordmeister for a move to Liverpool in the Premier League. Later in the summer, Stuttgart refused to even come to the table with Bayern over Nick Woltemade. To Stuttgart's credit, they were able to extract an exorbitant amount from Newcastle United that Bayern was unwilling to match."
Bayern Munich's summer transfer window began poorly when 22-year-old Florian Wirtz moved from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool. Stuttgart refused to negotiate over Nick Woltemade and secured an exorbitant fee from Newcastle that Bayern declined to match. Several top Bundesliga players transferred to Premier League clubs. Club leadership rejected claims that Bayern cannot financially compete with English clubs, noting recent signings from England including Luis Díaz and Nicolas Jackson and the earlier acquisition of Harry Kane. In recent years, first-division Bundesliga clubs have largely stopped selling to Bayern, with most incoming players arriving on free transfers; Hiroki Itō was the only successful paid move in four years.
