"I don't want to get involved in speculation. When you see how many top players have left the Bundesliga for the Premier League and the money involved... you hold talks about things. It's not out of sight, out of mind. There's a market where things are considered. At the end of the day, it's down to the player,"
"We got promoted from the Championship to the Premier League with Burnley and all of a sudden you have TV money coming in and it's 100 million for promoted teams. You go from a budget of €25-30m a year to €120-130m for a promoted team, which would compete with top 6 in the Bundesliga. At Burnley, we were competing on the market with Frankfurt and Wolfsburg for players. Sunderland are now buying from Leverkusen and competing with AC Milan. That's just a financial reality."
"Chelsea winger Tyrique George (19) is on Bayern's list in addition to Nicolas Jackson. It's uncertain whether Bayern would be willing to buy George outright due to the costly package. A loan, however, would no longer be possible if Jackson also joins on loan. Leipzig, AS Roma and 2 clubs from the UK are interested in George."
Nick Woltemade moved to Newcastle United, removing a potential striker option for Bayern Munich. Sporting director Christoph Freund refused to engage in speculation, noting frequent player departures from the Bundesliga to the Premier League and emphasizing that transfers depend on player choice and market dynamics. Head coach Vincent Kompany attributed the trend to Premier League television revenue and the large budget increases for promoted clubs, which enable them to compete financially with Bundesliga teams. Bayern is reported to be monitoring Chelsea winger Tyrique George alongside Nicolas Jackson, but loan restrictions and costly purchase packages complicate potential moves.
