CEO’s ‘we can afford anyone’ comment raises eyebrows

Bayern Munich chief Jan-Christian Dreesen took another swipe at Liverpool after missing out on Florian Wirtz, who joined for a record $156m (£116m). The Reds beat both Bayern and City to his signature, though Wirtz has yet to score or assist under Arne Slot.

Dreesen claimed Bayern can afford any transfer—just without ‘running to the bank’, which, let’s face it, sounds a bit like claiming you can run a marathon as long as no one times you.
