Bayern Posts Record Revenue as Dreesen Urges Action on Bundesliga’s Overseas Gap

He pledges selective spending under a strict spend-what-you-earn rule to stay competitive in a transfer market that has surged to more than $9 billion.

Overview

  • FC Bayern reported €978.3 million in 2024/25 revenue with €42.5 million pre-tax profit and €27.1 million net income.
  • Media income totaled €105.3 million, including about €30 million from abroad, which Dreesen said is lower than a decade ago.
  • Dreesen contrasted the Bundesliga’s overseas rights of roughly €174 million with the Premier League’s more than €2 billion and La Liga’s €835 million.
  • He urged the DFL and clubs to increase global visibility and pursue new markets, while opposing regular Bundesliga matches staged abroad.
  • He said Bayern can afford any transfer it chooses but will not outspend its income, citing pressure from cash-rich competitors.
