Red Bull Salzburg have already collected 48 million euros
Even if Red Bull Salzburg doesn’t pull off the big miracle against Bayern Munich – the Austrian series champion is already swimming in bonuses worth millions.
how to die APA reported, Red Bull Salzburg received an astronomical 48 million euros in the current Champions League season (2021/2022) – for the Bulls this is the most successful European Cup season of all time.
Should the big coup against FC Bayern succeed in the round of 16 and the associated promotion to the quarter-finals of the premier class, a further 10.6 million euros await.
“Our budget scenario is a group stage in the Europa League. Of course that would be an amazing success,” explains Managing Director Stephan Reiter.
“The fact that we overperformed in terms of our budget gave us leeway. We were able to forego all Corona subsidies in favor of other clubs or sport. And it gave us the opportunity to secure the club. If you alone have around 10,000 season tickets has, the corona restrictions are extremely painful.
In addition to massive income from the Champions League, Red Bull Salzburg will probably also get considerable transfer income in the summer – top players like Karim Adeyemi or Noah Okafor will probably leave the club.
However, it is also clear that the club’s expenses will also increase with larger additional income. “Salaries and squad costs are also developing. In times of success, the club creates opportunities, but the players win the games and of course participate, as do the coaches,” said Reiter.
