Report: Bayern Munich could be banking on Club World Cup to finance summer transfer plans

There is a lot of money at stake with the Club World Cup and Bayern Munich could be viewing it as an opportunity to help bolster the squad later this summer per kicker’s Georg Holzner (via @iMiaSanMia):

While player sales are still needed anyway, a substantial prize money from the Club World Cup would increase the prospect of actual reinforcements for the new season and give Bayern more financial leeway on the transfer market. Hence the importance of this tournament in the eyes of the people in charge.

Per FIFA, the payout structure is as follows:

Total prize money pot: USD 1 billion, comprised of a sporting performance pillar of USD 475 million and a participation pillar of USD 525 million.

Sporting performance pillar: USD 475 million

Group Stage (three matches): USD 2.0 million win/1.0 million draw per club

Round of 16+: USD 7.5 million

Quarter-final+: USD 13.125 million

Semi-final+: USD 21.0 million

Finalist+: USD 30.0 million

Winner+: USD 40.0 million

Participation pillar: USD 525 million

Europe: USD 12.81-38.19 million*

South America: USD 15.21 million

North, Central America & Caribbean: USD 9.55 million

Asia: USD 9.55 million

Africa: USD 9.55 million

Oceania: USD 3.58 million

So…yeah, a win at the Club World Cup could do a lot of things for Bayern Munich…
