Oliver Kahn Closes Bayern Chapter, Flags Bundesliga’s Financial Gap to the Premier League

He uses a Sky appearance to signal a move toward club ownership.

Overview

  • Kahn declined to weigh in on fresh Bayern internal debates and said the subject is finished for him.
  • He warned that German clubs risk becoming a development pipeline, pointing to the Premier League’s vastly higher revenues and resulting advantage in transfer battles.
  • He referenced this summer’s outcomes as examples, with Florian Wirtz joining Liverpool for around €125 million and Nick Woltemade moving to Newcastle for about €90 million after Bayern interest.
  • He urged patience with young talents adapting to bigger stages, backing time for Wirtz at Liverpool and stressing that Lamine Yamal needs a strong support system.
  • He noted Manuel Neuer remains a national-team goalkeeping option as questions persist over Marc-André ter Stegen’s status and the form of Oliver Baumann and Alexander Nübel.
