DBasia.news – Football is not only a popular sport in the world, but there is also a business that runs in it. Those who manage it well can strike a balance with the way the club runs.
If it has been going well, sooner or later the results can be seen from the achievements or achievements of football. The balance is owned by the ‘controversial’ club RB Leipzig, a club that has crawled from the lower divisions to the present in the Bundesliga.
Called controversial because Leipzig was once opposed by fans of the Bundesliga club with the way they crawled up the top. Starting with the instant way they built a team with energy drink sponsors, Red Bull, to become a club that was suddenly in the Bundesliga.
However, it did not affect the management’s policy in building the club. Leipzig’s seven years were lived with the vision of coach and Director of Sport, Ralf Rangnick, in mid 2012-2019 and he left with the legacy that laid the foundation for the club.
Since promotion to the Bundesliga in 2016 Leipzig has received a lot of income from the sale of players who were previously not big names in world football.
Those who were released were Naby Keita to Liverpool (60 million euros), Timo Werner to Chelsea (53 million euros), and most recently Dayot Upamecano to Bayern Munich (42.5 million euros), Ibrahima Konate to Liverpool (40 million euros), to Julian Nagelsmann who coached Bayern (25 million euros).
Plus Marius Wolf to Borussia Monchengladbach (9.5 million euros) then Leipzig has received an income of 92 million euros, the club’s largest revenue recipient.
It didn’t take long for the club to operate after receiving the money. 91.62 million euros were directly spent by signing Andre Silva (23 million euros), Josko Gvardiol (18.8 million euros), Angelino (18 million euros), Mohamed Sisian (15 million euros), Benjamin Henrichs (15 million euros), and Caden Clark (1.82 million euros).
RB Leipzig will start a new era under the direction of Jesse Marsch, a coach who has also emerged from the club’s watch under the management of RB (RB Salzburg). The club is no longer coached by Nagelsmann and has Werner, Konate and Upamecano, but with the legacy left by Rangnick Leipzig can continue to run at the top of the Bundesliga standings.
