The transfer summer and the consequences. BILD answers the most important questions!
► Why does Draxler wear 93 at Benfica?
The international on loan from PSG on “Benfica TV”: “I heard regarding the situation with the 10 (will no longer be awarded following the death of legend Fernando Chalana; ed.). 93 is the year I was born. I hope it brings me luck.”
► Cristiano Ronaldo (37) continues at Man United – is that okay?
The superstar no one wants might scrap the entire United season. Ex-BVB coach Bert van Marwijk (70): “A player like Ronaldo often has a suffocating effect on a team. He can’t bear not being allowed to play.” Antony (22) also came from Ajax for €100m as a competitor at Sturm.
► How does Julian Weigl (26) justify his Gladbach change?
Weigl (borrowed from Benfica): “I’ve always found Gladbach to be a great club.”
► What does Schalke want with three strikers?
With the transfer of Kenan Karaman (28, free transfer from Besiktas Istanbul), Schalke expresses their distrust in their zero-goal attackers Terodde and Polter (for 1.5 million euros from Bochum). Karaman managed two goals in 25 league games last season.
► Where is the Bundesliga in this transfer summer?
England’s Premier League invested 2.25 billion euros. Italy 749m, France 558m, Spain 506m and Bundesliga 484m
► Does the transfer period have to end earlier?
Leipzig coach Domenico Tedesco (36) speaks of “distortion of competition”. His example is Leipzig’s 1-1 draw in Stuttgart: “The first three opponents from VfB had to defend Kalajdzic (move to Wolverhampton; ed.), the rest didn’t.” The DFL is currently not planning any changes.
