Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany has disclosed that it will be difficult for the Bundesliga to compete with the Premier League spending power in the transfer window.
Speaking at a press conference in Munich on Friday, the Bayern boss, who won four league titles with Manchester City and won promotion to the English top flight with Burnley, was asked to explain the Premier League’s appeal.
“Money,” Kompany said smiling, before comparing the financial power of promoted clubs in England to some of the continent’s best.

“When we got promoted with Burnley, the TV rights came in and it was 100 million pounds (115 million euros, $134 million) — for a promoted team.
“With Burnley, we were competing on the market with Frankfurt for players and with Wolfsburg. When Sunderland are buying players, they’re buying them from Leverkusen.”
