Despite signing Konrad Laimer from RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich once had defensive midfielder Declan Rice as a transfer goal. The German Rekordmeister eventually lost the competition for West Ham’s UEFA Conference League-winning captain to Arsenal FC; how much did the Gunners pay the club from the Thames?
It’s reportedly £100 million plus £5 million in add-ons for a total of £105 million, which is slightly more than Tottenham Hotspur’s asking price for Harry Kane.(Disclaimer: some of the values are tentative estimates; there may be some discrepancies).To put this in context, West Ham was bought for £85 million in 2006 by an Icelandic consortium, but Spurs were worth around £81.5 million when chairman Daniel Levy increased his overall ownership to 29.9% in 2000, which is comparable to £157.3 million and £175.5 million in today’s pricing.
Bayern is in a difficult situation in today’s world of high pricing because the club is recognized for being conservative with its cash reserves. In the case of Kane, though, Bayern must pay heavily if they are to fulfill their objectives.
