Reporter: Bayern has not refused to pay seven-digit fees for the Club World Cup to join the Tower in advance

German journalists Manuel Bonke and Philipp Kessler revealed that Bayern Munich did not completely refuse to pay Leverkusen a seven-figure euro fee to ensure that the new aid Tower can play in the Club World Cup. Under the dual considerations of "event revenue-driven" and "defense employment shortage", the Bundesliga class bullies are weighing the balance between short-term investment and long-term interests. The contract between Tower and Leverkusen was originally scheduled to expire on June 30, but its transfer to Bayern has been finalized. However, the Club World Cup will be the first to start on June 15, which means that if strictly enforced according to the contract, the Tower will not be able to represent Bayern due to the "identity ownership" issue. In order to resolve this contradiction, Bayern proposed a plan to "activate free itself in advance", that is, to pay Leverkusen a fee in exchange for the official joining of the Tower before June 10.

"The commercial value of the Club World Cup is the core of decision-making." The reporter analyzed that if Bayern wins the championship, he can receive a prize of more than 40 million euros, and the event will be held in North America, which will directly drive "sponsorship revenue in the US market." Currently, the main players of the defense, Jule and Paval, are absent due to injuries, and the Tower's "air defense capability" and "goal stability" have become a necessity. Data shows that Bayern's "setting ball conceded" in the Bundesliga this season reached 22%, and the timely joining of the Tower can target the defensive efficiency.

Leverkusen's "cooperation intention" comes from multiple factors: First, the Tower has clearly refused to renew the contract, and forcibly staying in the team may cause conflicts in the locker room; Second, the early release of the person can maintain a good relationship with Bayern, laying the groundwork for future transfer cooperation; Third, although the seven-digit fee is lower than expected, it can fill the cost of youth training.

This transaction reflects the "pragmatic philosophy of wealthy clubs." Bayern Finance Director Dresen pointed out at an internal meeting: "We are not 'spending money to buy people', but 'investment probability'. The Tower's appearance may directly affect the title, and the benefits brought by the championship will far exceed the expenditure." This strategy of "fighting to fight" coincides with the "event economic thinking" of competitors such as Real Madrid and Manchester City.
