FC Bayern, News: That’s what Lewandowski’s ex-adviser says

The mud fight between FC Bayern and Robert Lewandowski went into a new round, according to the statements made by the Poles at a press conference of the Polish national team yesterday afternoon. There the striker announced that his “era at Bayern Munich” was over. “I see no possibility of continuing my career at this club given what has happened in the past few weeks,” said Lewandowski.

The Pole’s ex-advisor Cezary Kucharski believes the tie between the player and the club has finally been cut. Kucharski can no longer imagine Lewandowski staying at Bayern. “I think Robert really wants to leave. These sentences are strong,” said Poland’s ex-adviser sports1. Lewandowski needs “new motivation. His heart has long since left Bayern. After these sentences, I really can’t imagine that he would continue to give 100 percent for Bayern.”

In the meantime, Lewandowski had also learned to cleverly exploit his negotiating position. “Back then, when he stayed at Borussia Dortmund for a year, he was still young and he was scared. Now he’s an experienced player and knows what he wants,” said Kucharski.

More profit than Bayern and BVB: Surprising BL finance master

1/21

The DFL has published the official financial figures for the end of the 2021 financial year. Not FC Bayern Munich, certainly not Borussia Dortmund and also not RB Leipzig made the biggest profit.

2/21

For most clubs, the balance sheet date is 30/06/2021, so the figures refer to the 2020/21 season. For Frankfurt, Leverkusen, Gladbach, Schalke and Stuttgart, they refer to the 2021 calendar year.

3/21

At the end of the 2020 financial year, eleven clubs were still in the red, a year later there are already 13. SPOX provides an overview of the profits and losses of the clubs that will play in the Bundesliga next season.

4/21

HERTHA BSC (18th place): -77,952,000 euros – It is particularly striking that the Berliners used around 90 percent of their gross sales (before tax) for personnel costs. Around 92 of 102 million euros flow into the entire staff.

5/21

BORUSSIA DORTMUND (17th place): -72,810,000 euros – At BVB, consultant costs have fallen from around 38 to around 32 million euros compared to the previous year, but they are still the leader in the league.

6/21

FC SCHALKE 04 (16th place): -18,705,000 euros – The miners have been able to reduce their personnel expenses in recent years (currently around 88 million euros). With a gross turnover of 199 million euros, they even rank sixth.

7/21

1. FC KÖLN (15th place): -18,315,000 euros – Christian Keller should improve the numbers in the future through clever sporting action. The low equity of only 1.5 million euros at FC catches the eye. This puts them in 14th place in the Bundesliga.

8/21

BORUSSIA MÖNCHENGLADBACH (14th place): -14,610,000 euros – The foals were able to increase their gross sales by almost six million euros compared to the previous year. The bottom line is at least two million euros less loss.

9/21

1. FC UNION BERLIN (13th place): -11,361,000 euros – four million euros more loss than in the previous year. Striking: equity has deteriorated from -17 million euros to -27 million euros.

10/21

FSV MAINZ 05 (12th place): -10,185,000 euros – Mainz have the fourth lowest personnel expenses (48 million euros), but also the fourth lowest gross profit in terms of sales.

11/21

EINTRACHT FRANKFURT (11th place): -9,913,000 euros – 5th place in terms of gross sales (around 206 million euros). On the other hand, they have very high other operating expenses (around 90 million euros, fourth place).

12/21

SV WERDER BREMEN (10th place): -7,081,000 euros – Here the third-lowest equity capital stands out (-20 million euros). Otherwise, the result is average in a league comparison.

13/21

VfL BOCHUM (9th place): -4,930,000 euros – lowest gross sales (around 28 million euros), lowest personnel costs (around 18 million euros), lowest consultant costs (around 800,000 euros) – but maximum performance and efficiency.

14/21

VfB STUTTGART (8th place): -1,234,000 euros – At VfB, the high transfer income of around 40 million euros should make itself felt. Raw sales increased 1.5-fold to EUR 142.5 million.

15/21

FC AUGSBURG (7th place): -523,000 euros – At FCA, the “special item for investment grants” (almost 17 million euros) stands out. The US investor is obvious, but it can also be government grants that are booked differently than others.

16/21

TSG HOFFENHEIM (6th place): -142,000 euros – Hoffenheim is one of the special cases in the Bundesliga. They actually made a loss of almost 23 million euros, which was offset by Dietmar Hopp.

17/21

VfL WOLFSBURG (4th place): 0 euros – VW is responsible for this on the Mittelland Canal. The car manufacturer takes over the loss of -17.8 million euros. Incidentally, this would also pay off the profits – like Hopp in the previous year with 55 million euros.

18/21

BAYER 04 LEVERKUSEN (4th place): 0 euros – Here it is Bayer who compensate for a minus of around 13.7 million euros and thus ensure that Leverkusen comes out with 0 in the balance sheet.

19/21

FC BAYERN MUNICH (3rd place): 1,936,000 euros – gross sales fell by almost 60 million, personnel costs rose by 33 million euros. Other operational expenses were saved (almost 90 million euros less).

20/21

RB LEIPZIG (2nd place): 2,768,000 euros – Like FCA, Leipzig has a high-value “special item for investment grants” (almost 30 million euros). Red Bull is one option as a sponsor, but state subsidies would be the other here too.

21/21

SC FREIBURG (1st place): 9,777,000 million euros – The sustainable work of the SC is also reflected in the figures. With the fifth lowest personnel expenses (around 53.5 million euros), they are more successful than most of the other clubs.
