yeah i agree that leipzig are indeed have been projected since first time they get promoted to bundesliga, they bought Bernardo, Marius Müller, Benno Schmitz, Oliver Burke, Naby Keïta, Timo Werner and get loan for , Kyriakos Papadopoulos from leverkusen , all of them cost 50 million euro! a huge amount for a promotional team. but the result of those investment are pretty successfull so far considering leipzig are on bundesliga winner market.

It just proves us that money could buy you anything. Well then, seems RB Leipzig could be the other rich team beside Bayern. I guess it would trig other big companies or investors to do the same, and if that happens, Bundesliga could be more attractive.

Big money invested in the clubs of the Bundesliga is a good thing only if they find the right balance. We as fans do not want to see another Barcelona or another Real Madrid where they jack up the prices during the transfer window simply because they can. A good example where to find and follow this kind of balance is none other than Bayern Munich.

Well you know, Real Madrid and Barcelona have the greatest rivalry in the world, which they will do anything to be better each other. If Real Madrid sign a great player, then Barcelona will do that as well, and vice versa, no matter how much they will spend. But in Bundesliga, Bayern Munich dominating it too much, not only the title, but also the transfer activity there. Because of that, they can buy good players from other team of Bundesliga in "cheap" price. There is no balance at all.

What I was talking about with balance was in the way the business is run. Real Madrid and Barcelona have to loan money from their government to subsidize their player transfer purchases. This doesnt reflect well in football. Sometimes those top clubs dont have any revenue at a given year because they borrow and spend too much. Bayern on the other hand is a well run business.
