Uli Hoeneß, the honorary president of FC Bayern Munich, has declared the club's transfer summer a success, despite failed attempts to sign Florian Wirtz and Nick Woltemade. Hoeneß, known for his straightforward approach, has added 15 or 16 strong players to Bayern's squad, with two or three young players needing integration.
One of the notable additions is Nicolas Jackson, who has been extended on loan from FC Chelsea. The loan fee is estimated at around 13 million euros, although Hoeneß has clarified that the loan is not 16.5 million euros due to the player's side contributing an amount. The purchase obligation for Jackson only has to be paid if he plays 40 games from the start.
Hoeneß attempted to secure the signings of German national players Wirtz (FC Liverpool) and Woltemade (Newcastle United) this summer, but was unsuccessful. The reported transfer fee for Wirtz was a staggering 150 million euros, a sum Hoeneß stated FC Bayern would never have paid. Similarly, Hoeneß believes that Woltemade is not worth 90 million euros, the amount he eventually went for after moving to England.
Despite these missed opportunities, Hoeneß has rated the transfer summer of sporting director Max Eberl as successful. Bayern has signed Luis Díaz, Jonathan Tah, and Tom Bischof permanently, and the new coach, Vincent Kompany, has been appointed this summer.
However, Hoeneß has criticized the transfer madness in football, emphasizing the importance of saying "no" to excessive prices. He has compared the current transfer market to the Monopoly board game, stating that some sheikhs come along and buy players. This sentiment led to a disagreement with record national player Lothar Matthäus over the Nick Woltemade transfer.
Despite the disagreement, Hoeneß and Matthäus have since reconciled and shaken hands. Hoeneß has even made a comment about Matthäus, stating that he doesn't have all his marbles. Regardless, Hoeneß believes that FC Bayern is the real winner of the transfer summer due to having a very strong team.
In conclusion, while FC Bayern may have missed out on a few high-profile signings, Hoeneß's strategic additions and the team's overall strength make for a successful transfer summer. The focus on fiscal responsibility in the face of inflated transfer fees is a testament to Hoeneß's shrewd leadership.
