How much will Bundesliga clubs Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund make at the upcoming 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the United States? A report by the German magazine kicker this week shed light on the finances of the tournament.
The world soccer governing body FIFA had previously communicated that the tournament would include a $1 billion prize pool distributed to the 32 teams. The winner of the tournament could earn up to $125 million.
For European clubs like Bayern and Dortmund that would have been €923 million when FIFA made the announcement. The collapse of the US dollar, however, means that the prize pool to be earned by clubs from UEFA has dropped to just €877 million.
The prize pool is divided into two categories. The first category is the sporting performance pillar which is worth $475 million. The second category is the participation pillar worth $525 million.
While all teams from South America ($15.21 million), Oceania ($3.58 million), and all other confederations ($9.55 million) will receive the same guaranteed amount of money this isn't the case for Europe. According to FIFA, clubs from UEFA, the participation money will vary between $12.81 million and $38.91 million.
How does this break down for the two Bundesliga clubs? While Austrian club RB Salzburg is the lowest end of the prize pool available for European clubs. This is determined by the UEFA club co-efficient ranking and the club's contribution to UEFA marketing over the last four years.
Based on that, kicker have calculated that Manchester City ranks ahead of Real Madrid within UEFA's ranking. Man City will, therefore, receive around $38 million from participating in the tournament. Real Madrid ranks second with $35.8 million.
The two Bundesliga clubs Bayern and Dortmund rank third and sixth respectively. This means that Bayern will earn a guaranteed $33.5 million and Dortmund $26.6 million. The report adds that Man City could earn a maximum of €110.4 million ($125 million).
With Bayern ranked only marginally behind the Premier League giants, the expectations in Munich are that the Rekordmeister could earn over $100 million from playing in the tournament. Dortmund would come in just under the $100 million mark should the Black and Yellows win the tournament.
Both clubs have aspirations to go deep in the tournament. The Rekordmeister has been very aggressive in its pursuit to sign Florian Wirtz from competitor Bayer Leverkusen. With Leverkusen expecting €140 million ($160 million) for the player, a deep run at the Club World Cup would help Bayern.
For Dortmund, in the meantime, the expectation was that the tournament would help alleviate the financial impact of missing out on Champions League football. But recent results in the Bundesliga have put Dortmund back in the race for a top-four spot. Hence, the tournament could now be a significant financial bonus rather than an insurance policy for Dortmund.

Liverpool submit new £113 million bid for Florian Wirtz
Liverpool have submitted a new bid of £113 million to Bayer Leverkusen for playmaker Florian Wirtz, according to The Times. The new proposal will see the Reds pay £100 million guaranteed, plus another £13 million in bonuses. Unfortunately, it is still short of Bayer Leverkusen's demands. Advertisement Die Werkself want £126 million (€150 million) to let Wirtz go, but Liverpool do not want to match that exorbitant fee. Despite the report from The Times, other reliable sources suggest that all parties will still agree on a deal, as the player is keen on a move to Anfield. While many ponder whether the German international is worth the eye-watering sum, his numbers have been consistently elite. Wirtz joined Bayer Leverkusen from FC Koln at the age of 16. Within weeks of turning 17, he was already making his Bundesliga debut. Weeks later, he scored against Bayern Munich to become the youngest-ever Bundesliga goalscorer at 17 years and 34 days (at the time). He has proven his mettle through the years. Advertisement Wirtz was a standout as Leverkusen won the domestic double last term and reached the Europa League final. They did not reach those heights this term, but he finished with 16 goals and 14 assists. Wirtz ranked eighth for progressive passes in the Bundesliga this season (155). Last term, he made and received the third most progressive passes in the German top flight. This makes excellent reading for a number 10 who operates between the lines. He also created 2.1 chances from open play per 90 minutes in the Bundesliga this season (min. 1,000 minutes). That was more than any of his Leverkusen teammates, while only Mohamed Salah averaged more for Liverpool (2.3) in the Premier League. Advertisement Wirtz executed the fourth-most carries in the Bundesliga this season (549). Only one player had more than his five assists following a carry. The Leverkusen star also attempted (165) and completed (82) the most dribbles in the Bundesliga this season. The underlying numbers are excellent, compelling Liverpool to break their transfer record. However, he will be under pressure to deliver if he gets the big-money move to England.

Report: Newcastle Chasing Premier League Winger Again
Newcastle Eyeing Anthony Elanga in Fresh Transfer Move Newcastle United have reignited their interest in Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga, according to recent reports from Sky Sports. With Eddie Howe keen on bolstering his attacking options, the Magpies have reportedly made initial contact with Forest over the possibility of securing Elanga's services this summer. Photo IMAGO Renewed Interest from Eddie Howe Eddie Howe's admiration for Elanga is well-documented. Sky Sports journalists Keith Downie and Lyall Thomas confirmed that the Newcastle manager had previously attempted to bring the winger to St James' Park on Deadline Day last summer. Although a deal failed to materialise then, Howe clearly sees Elanga as a pivotal part of his attacking plans. Impressive Season at Forest Elanga proved instrumental for Nottingham Forest during the last campaign. His six goals and 11 assists in 38 Premier League appearances highlight his significance in Forest's commendable run, ultimately securing them qualification for the UEFA Europa Conference League. With three years left on his current contract, Forest will not let the 23-year-old leave easily, especially given his contributions since joining from Manchester United in July 2023. Transfer Competition and Strategy Elanga is among four top winger targets identified by Newcastle. Securing his signature, however, could be complicated, as Forest will undoubtedly demand a substantial fee given his recent performances and contractual situation. The pursuit indicates Newcastle's intent to continue strengthening their squad after recent investments and improvements under Howe's guidance. Newcastle's Ambitions Clear The renewed attempt to sign Elanga sends a clear message about Newcastle's ambitions for the upcoming season. Adding a talent like Elanga, who offers pace, creativity, and consistent attacking threat, would considerably boost their chances of competing at higher levels domestically and possibly in Europe in the near future. Advertisement As negotiations potentially unfold, Newcastle supporters will hope the club's persistence pays off. Anthony Elanga could be exactly the kind of exciting, young talent to further elevate the Magpies. Our View – EPL Index Analysis As a Newcastle supporter, hearing about our renewed interest in Anthony Elanga is genuinely exciting. Eddie Howe clearly values players with energy, speed, and versatility, and Elanga ticks all these boxes. He showed immense promise at Forest last season, helping them clinch European football—something Newcastle fans desperately want to see return to St James' Park regularly. While Elanga might not be the biggest name in the Premier League, his consistent assists and goals tally demonstrate the potential we urgently need in wide areas. Moreover, signing a player who excelled at a club like Forest sends a positive message about our ambition. It shows we're not just interested in star names but focused on effective, quality signings who can immediately enhance the squad. However, it's crucial we act decisively this time. Missing out on him last summer was frustrating, and Newcastle must now show they're serious contenders in the market. Elanga's ability to thrive under pressure at Forest suggests he'd handle the expectations at Newcastle well. Let's hope our management secures this promising talent swiftly, reinforcing our squad ahead of what promises to be a thrilling season.
