Liverpool offers to include Vertis with $ 170 million. Highlights of the Bundesliga capabilities

The possible step through the Liverpool club to contract with German football star Florian Vertz for a frequency of about $ 150 million ($ 170 million) will not only put “Bayern Munich” in trouble, but it is also likely that the controversy will also attract the ability of the German Bundeslige to comply with the profitable European league. The 22 -year -old, who occupies the center of an offensive playmaker, was expected to join the German champion next season, after contributing to his team “Bayer Leverkusen” to achieve the first league title in his history last year, but he expressed his desire to speak ‘Anfield’ on Saturday. If Liverpool is signed with him, the German international will meet his colleague in ‘Leverkusen’ Jeremy Frimbong, who is also allegedly close to the ‘Reds’ (Liverpool). This conflict reflects the boundaries of the Bundesliga’s ability in the transfer market when its rival with the English ‘Premier League’. The financial superiority of English clubs on German has always had ‘Bayern Munich’ a busy record to attract the most prominent German players through financial offers whose local competitors cannot keep up, and included international stars such as English striker Harry Kane or French Michael Ulys. After restoring the German league title this season, the most crowning club in the country tried to persuade vertes to join his ranks. But the financial superiority of a club like Liverpool and other “Premier League” clubs made it increasingly difficult for German clubs to preserve their stars or attract bright names. Some of the most prominent restrictions facing German clubs are what is known as the ’50 +1 base ‘, which requires the members to retain at least 50% of voting rights in the entity that manages the professional team, which ensures that control is in the hands of supporters and members of the club and limits the impact of external investors. This base also helps keep the ticket prices in Germany relatively low, which is reflected in the fullness of the stadiums there, which records the rates of public presence among the highest in the world. “If the association wants to compete, it is suitable for 50+1 base, or you find a mechanism to provide more financial support to the clubs,” says Daniel Erd, a legal adviser to the law firm, Watson Farli & Williams. Clubs such as Liverpool and Manchester City benefit from much higher income thanks to local and international broadcasting rights, as well as their owned by wealthy investors from the United States or the Middle East. The limited financing of German clubs, while German clubs with big fans, such as “Eintracht Frankfurt” or “Werder Bremen”, managed to overcome some obstacles by raising financing with the help of local investors supporting teams without interfering in their management. The “Saint Pauli” club in Hamburg collected about 30 million euros ($ 34 million) of its fans between November 2024 and March 2025, in one of the first collaboration initiatives obtained by the majority share in the club. However, German clubs are still facing challenges to find new sources of financing beyond the scope of ticket prices, broadcast rights and commercial care. Nadia “Augsburg” and “Hera Berlin” tried to attract new investors, but their efforts were unsuccessful. Although the ’50 +1 base ‘is one of the most controversial points among the German football lovers and institutions, who strongly refuse to give control to foreign investors interested in profit aspects more than the heritage of the game, the legal status of this rule can change. The German Anti -Monopathic Authority is reviewing a review to ensure that the ’50 +1 base ‘matches the German and European competition laws. According to Ingu Strauss, a partner in the Latham & Watkins, some decisions in the European Court of Justice have recently made concerns. A renewed controversy could lead to renewed controversy raised last year, when the attempt to fail private investors for the entity responsible for selling television broadcast rights for the third time. At the time, the negotiations provoked widespread opposition from some clubs and their fans, which forced the German league “DFL” to close a slightly improved broadcasting channel, giving it some time to formulate a new strategy to improve income. ‘DFL’ and club officials recently resumed their talks on ways to improve the attraction of ‘Bundesliga’ internationally, and the possibility of reforming the ’50 +1 ‘basis to facilitate the attraction of investors. An analytical 108 -page document seen by “Bloomberg News” indicates how the revenue obtained by the German league outside its local market twice with ‘Premier League’. To increase its international attraction, the German league must expand the competition base, so that more clubs have the opportunity to compete with Bayern Munich, and to attract stars that help them achieve better results in tournaments such as the Champions League. The neighboring France had similar complications in the European football market, as well as difficult economic conditions, as the French League “Leg 1” canceled the TV outdoor contract with ‘Dazen’ only a year after a five -year contract, while ‘Dazen’ blamed the association for failure to fail to create illegal broadcasting. The scene increased the departure of the big stars such as Killian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar. Like France, the controversy will remain in Germany on how to increase funding and keep up with rapid changes in the sports industry. “The problem lies at the base of 50+1, but I’m afraid that a majority cannot be assured to change,” said Martin Caind, a German businessman and former president of the Hanover 96, and one of the most prominent defenders of the past year.
