Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has hit out at the rising transfer fees of the modern game, insisting Kylian Mbappe's move to Real Madrid would be “the nail in the coffin”.
Mbappe joined Madrid on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, but, in addition to a huge salary package, the Frenchman is understood to have agreed to a fee of €150 million.
The news of the deal with Mbappe came as a major shock to Eberl, who insisted that it did nothing but damage the transfer market.
“Money is coming out of the market,” he said Suddeutsche Zeitung. “No club benefits from it. Players, families, mentors, everyone benefits, but no clubs.
“In the past, it always happened that at least the clubs benefited, the money kept going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
“You can end up becoming greedy but everyone who is greedy will gradually turn into a nail in the ball, if all the money comes out at some point there will be nothing we can do. business with.
“[The money] it's too big and sometimes you get the feeling that it's going to explode. So sometimes it will be overcrowded and sometimes Saudi Arabia will come. You get the feeling that it doesn't sound right. I have to say that to be fair, but that's the market right now.
“I don't want to participate in all this, but I also want to succeed. As a person dealing with sports, I am also caught in this problem.”
Mbappe received an excellent message from his team-mate Eduardo Camavinga, who insisted that going to Madrid was the right decision.
“It is the logical next step in Kylian's career,” Camavinga explained to the media. “Real Madrid is the club he needed after PSG. PSG can help him with his personal goals.
“And on a collective level, because you want to win the Champions League. So I think Real Madrid is the perfect team.”
