😳 Müller slams soaring transfer fees, calls Neymar's price surreal | OneFootball

Bayern Munich continues to prepare for the match against PSG, next Saturday (5), in Atlanta, at 1 PM (Brasília time), for the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup.

But the Bavarians are also in the market looking for reinforcements for the 2025/26 season.

And Thomas Müller, a Bayern idol who is bidding farewell to the club after 25 years, criticized the high amounts involved in negotiations between clubs in recent years.

The 35-year-old midfielder even mentioned the Brazilian Neymar to criticize the transfer of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool for 150 million euros (about R$ 966.4 million).

"What are 150 million? It's surreal. It's just a number between clubs. Who can imagine what 150 million means? You can't have Neymar, but you can plant many trees with it. How can you assess what 150 million means? You can't get good things with 150 million, but you can get very good things, and even many of them," Müller told the channel CBS.

No club in England has paid more than what Liverpool will spend on Wirtz in the history of football in the country.

Neymar, in turn, remains the most expensive transfer in world football when, in 2017, PSG paid 222 million euros to take him from Barcelona.
