For me, Bayern Munich is more of a team that doesn't spend a lot of money on player transfers and they're doing the right thing with that. But German teams are generally economical with transfers, which I think is a good thing, other leagues should also take this as a role model.

I definitely agree with that. In general i would also say that german clubs are handling their money very reasonably. There are a few exceptions to that like FC Schalke that still has debts of around 150 Million € but they are also on a good way to get rid of those debts step after step. Dortmund was also almost broke like 15 years ago or so, but they also learned from that but are now a financially healthy club.
The total opposite can be seen in Spain. Barca has debts of 1,3 Billion € thats why they had to sell their TV rights, their Merchandise brand and others stuff which brought them around 600 Million or so, but instead of using that money to pay back a part of their debts they want to spend a big part of it for new players like Lewandowski. It really seems that Barca has learned absolutely nothing and Real also has more than 600 Million € of debts.

It is very interesting indeed the policy of buying players from the Bundesliga teams, where they often buy players that are not too expensive,
however when selling players it can be very high. Especially Dortmund in the last few seasons they managed to sell players at very high prices,
so Dortmund is a club that has very healthy finances at the moment. Even during a pandemic situation, Dortmund including a team that does
not experience financial problems, because they manage their finances well.

But Dortmund's weakness is they don't prioritize trophies, although Dortmund have good finances, their performance is poor. The most ideal
may be Bayern, even this season's transfer market Bayern spend relatively small fees to bring in some new players. There is no question about
Bayern's achievements, not only dominating in the Bundesliga, Bayern has also won the Champions League trophy several times. Looks like
Barcelona really have a lot to learn from the Bundesliga teams, Barcelona's finances are very worrying right now, even Barcelona have to sacrifice
their players to experience a pay cut.
