Rummenigge announces: No transfer for FC Bayern in front of the club World Cup!

USA - In a surprising announcement, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the member of the supervisory board of FC Bayern Munich, said that the association will not use the additional transfer window of the FIFA for participants in the club world championship. According to Rummenigge, there will be no dramatic changes in the FC Bayern squad before the tournament, which takes place in the USA from June 14 to July 13, 2025. He added that despite the expected high prize money of around one billion dollars for the 32 participating clubs, the transfer market would not be significantly influenced. The FCB will receive around 30 million euros for participation in the club World Cup, while the tournament winner can expect total income of over 100 million euros. This new tournament form will be held with 32 teams every four years in 2025 and could be an important source of income for the clubs, such as op-online.de reported.

Rummenigge also made it clear that the plans for potential transfers, especially with regard to Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen, remain unclear. The 28-year-old central defender's contract expires on June 30, but Bayer Leverkusen demands a transfer fee for an early change. FC Bayern is currently looking for reinforcement in this position and Tah is considered the main candidate for the obligation. This reports mibundliga.com .

Rummenigges and the squad of FC Bayern

Despite the ambitions to oblige another central defender, FC Bayern will not strive for short -term transfers. Rummenigge confirmed that the association decided not to use the additional transfer window that FIFA set up from June 1 to June 10th. This remains the current squad in its form, with Bayern Munich already initiating an early return from Tom Bishop of TSG Hoffenheim.

Jonathan Tah consistently performed well for the Bayern squad this season under coach Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen and could be a valuable addition. The association has already contacted Tah's agents to discuss a possible obligation. Nevertheless, the Munich residents have to give up a current central defender before they can consider an obligation.

The importance of the club world championship

The FIFA Club World Championship, which will take place in the next few months, could be of crucial importance for the participants. The market values ​​of the players from the participating teams are very varying. An overview of some of the players with the highest market values ​​at the time of the tournament announcement shows that several top -class players achieve a value of over 20 million euros. This makes the upcoming event for all clubs an important platform to present their players, according to the information from Transfermarkt.at .

Overall, it remains to be seen how the events around FC Bayern and the upcoming transfers will develop, while the club is preparing for the upcoming challenges in the club world championship.
