Is Bayern weakening its rivals? No club is obliged to sell, Müller defends the Bavarian club

Bayern Munich is undoubtedly the best and biggest club in Germany. It is strong in all aspects, especially economically. Yet it is often the target of criticism. Why? Because, they say, it constantly undermines the competition. What does its still-playing legend Thomas Müller have to say about that?

There is currently no more dominant team in the top five European leagues. Bayern Munich will be looking to win their tenth title in a row this season. And he is doing his best to do so.

Although the Bavarian giant lost coach Hans Flick in the summer, it has acquired the highly talented Julian Nagelsmann from Leipzig for an interesting sum of money. And the weakening of the Saxon team did not end there.

In addition to Nagelsmann, key central defender Dayot Upamecano (for €42.5 million) and captain Marcel Sabitzer (for €15 million) came from Leipzig to Munich.

This is not the first time Bayern has bought from a competitor. However, it should be mentioned that Borussia Dortmund, who recently spent much more than the Bavarians in the Bundesliga, tried to do the same. But it was not successful, so it was not without criticism.

All in all, it is not unprecedented. It happens practically all the time and everywhere. It’s just that nobody is as dominant as Bayern. And what does Thomas Mülller, a Munich alumnus and legend, have to say about the criticism?

“No club is obliged to sell its players. Look at PSG, they didn’t sell Mbappé either. Like every club, we are looking for quality. It’s normal to look around for options. There have always been transfers that have sparked heated discussions,” is clear the offensive all-rounder, who is nicknamed “Mr. Bayern”.

Bayern itself has to constantly fight competition from richer European clubs. The German league does not attract as much money and clubs with wealthier owners want his players. Yet the Bavarian giant is still able to assert itself on the European stage and is often able to keep its players.

Is the vilification of Bayern correct?
