Report: Bayern Munich could be banking on Club World Cup to finance summer transfer plans
Bayern Munich could be looking at the Club World Cup as an opportunity to bolster the squad later this summer. A substantial prize money would increase the prospect of actual reinforcements for the new season and give Bayern more financial leeway on the transfer market. In this episode, we close the book on the German national team and its disappointing performance in the UEFA Nations League Final Four. We also assess the viability of Bayern Munich chasing Chelsea FC’s Christopher Nkunku and why that potential move might not be the perfect fit for what Bayern Munich needs.
While player sales are still needed anyway, a substantial prize money from the Club World Cup would increase the prospect of actual reinforcements for the new season and give Bayern more financial leeway on the transfer market. Hence the importance of this tournament in the eyes of the people in charge.
Per FIFA, the payout structure is as follows:
Total prize money pot: USD 1 billion, comprised of a sporting performance pillar of USD 475 million and a participation pillar of USD 525 million. Sporting performance pillar: USD 475 million Group Stage (three matches): USD 2.0 million win/1.0 million draw per club Round of 16+: USD 7.5 million Quarter-final+: USD 13.125 million Semi-final+: USD 21.0 million Finalist+: USD 30.0 million Winner+: USD 40.0 million Participation pillar: USD 525 million Europe: USD 12.81-38.19 million* South America: USD 15.21 million North, Central America & Caribbean: USD 9.55 million Asia: USD 9.55 million Africa: USD 9.55 million Oceania: USD 3.58 million *Determined by a ranking based on sporting and commercial criteria
So…yeah, a win at the Club World Cup could do a lot of things for Bayern Munich…
