Weekly Wages of Bayern Munich squad: Who earns how much?
Bundesliga heavyweights Bayern Munich are on their way towards grabbing their 10th Bundesliga trophy in a row. At present they remain in third spot with two wins and a draw. But Bayern Munich can turn the tides in their favor at any time.
The club looks comfortable under its new manager Julian Nagelsmann, who took over from Hansi Flick ahead of the current season. While they face a direct threat from Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig within the top-tier league, the Bavarians are dominating DFB-Pokal as well. They defeated Bremer SV 12-0 in the first round.
Other than losing David Alaba to Real Madrid, the 31-time-champions haven't faced much in terms of a loss.
The former RB Leipzig manager is one of the few changes undergone by the club ahead of the new season. Julian Nagelsmann also brought two of his favorites, Dayot Upamecano and Marcel Sabitzer, along with him, to the Allianz Arena.
Bayern Munich has also enforced a salary cap on its players this term. Let's take a deep dive into it.
