Myuller: Transfer prices will change the spirit of football
Thomas Müller, the forward of Munich's Bayern Munich club, shared his thoughts on transfer market prices. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, when it comes to 150 million euros for a player, it refers to the negotiation value between clubs. How understandable is this figure?
With this money, you cannot buy Neymar, but you can plant a lot of trees. A large sum like this can be used for many beneficial purposes, said the 35-year-old forward in an interview with CBS.
Moreover, Neymar's transfer from Spain's Barcelona to France's Paris Saint-Germain is considered one of the most expensive transfers in football history. In 2017, the Paris club paid 222 million euros to the "blue-burgundy" team for the Brazilian player.
This transfer was a significant event in the football world and remains a record price. According to Thomas Müller, instead of spending such a large amount of money, people should focus on more beneficial activities.
He emphasized that transfer prices are very high for today's football and mentioned that this money could be used in different directions. If the prices between players and clubs continue to rise, it could change the essence of the sport, said the forward.
Overall, large transfers in the football market bring about not only sports but also economic and social issues. Therefore, it is necessary to approach the topic seriously, added Thomas Müller.
