Several top players have left the Bundesliga for the Premier League in recent times, including Jeremie Frimpong, Benjamin Sesko, and Hugo Ekitike. Bayern Munich's transfer target Nick Woltemade could soon join them, as he is reportedly close to a deal with Newcastle United.

Kompany, who led Burnley to the Premier League in 2023, understands the financial reality of the situation. He notes that the TV money received by Premier League clubs is significantly higher than what Bundesliga clubs receive. For example, promoted teams in the Premier League can receive up to 100 million pounds in TV revenue.

This financial disparity makes it challenging for Bundesliga clubs to compete with Premier League teams for top players. As Kompany pointed out, German clubs in the top two divisions will share just over one billion euros a year under a new deal, while Premier League clubs alone will share more than three times that amount per year.

The coach believes that it is up to the Bundesliga to find ways to remain competitive and keep their best players. He notes that the Premier League's financial muscle is not just a one-time advantage, but a result of many years of developing a strong financial foundation, especially with the help of TV money.

Kompany is confident that the Bundesliga will find new talent and remain a competitive league, but acknowledges that it is a challenge to keep the best players.
