I half think the other clubs feed Bayern these players (particularly the german players) to make the national team stronger. Wasn't there that weird thing where someone high up in Bayern basically said if Neuer didn't start for Germany they wouldn't allow any of their players to play for the national team. Sure Ter Stegen was never going to take the spot from Neuer but to publicly state that is bizarre and shows what they're really about.
Issue for the other teams in the league is that they probably highly depend on the sort of transfer fees Bayern can pay to keep their clubs running well. Until money is more evenly distributed within a league this will keep happening.
It's probably time to start a thread since there will be increased speculation surrounding him as a future coach at Barca

Because Bayern approach them to run out their contracts or give their clubs a small fee as compensation.Theres no such thing as selling to finance the club. Players that leave from these clubs were either free agents, entered last year of contract or had a release clause triggered. The clubs had little say on the matter.

What club doesnt do that? Barca talked half their personel at some point into tap ups, revolts and transfer requests and whatnot. This is how football works since Bosman, the only ones immune to it are rich clubs that can double wage offers to buy off release clauses or extend contracts before they reach the last year mark.. hence why I'm advocating for wage caps since years.
And most of those clubs accumulated billions of debt to get there. In Germany the DFL will not give you a licence at a certain point of debt, which means you go straight down to the 3rd division
Thereis a difference in what other clubs (can) doand what Bayern does to the clubs in their own league.
That type of hegonomy exists only in Bundesliga.
We have Xavi in waiting, no worries
