Bayern warn against Barcelona-style spending spree, Hoeness says

The Bundesliga giants are aiming to avoid the pitfalls faced by other European heavyweights who have overextended themselves in the transfer market.

Speaking candidly, Hoeness cited Barcelona as a cautionary tale, pointing to the Spanish club's €1.2 billion debt as a consequence of constant spending.

"You have Barcelona as the best example of what happens when you only buy, buy, buy," he said, stressing the importance of balancing ambition with fiscal responsibility.

Hoeness also indicated that careful planning will be prioritised over high-profile transfers in the next window.

Bayern's approach reflects a strategy of measured investment, ensuring the club remains competitive while safeguarding long-term stability.
