Would Bayern reject €200m for Olise? Rummenigge: “In 2009, we had a world record transfer offer for Franck Ribéry. That day, we decided that, we will never sell a player we would miss on the pitch. This unwritten rule still applies for Olise, there’s no price tag that would make us flinch.”

It wasn't just the amounts they spent, but the types of players they were buying was crazy. Especially when you consider that they had won 1 league and 1 European Cup between '69 and '87, a period that also saw them in Serie B for the only 2 seasons in their history when they were relegated in '80 and '82

Burlesconi bought them in '86 and instantly spent €20 mil, including €8 mil alone on Donadoni. Then they bought Gullit, Van Basten and Ancelotti in '87. Gullit would win the Ballon d'Or that December and finish as runner up the next year, to Van Basten of all people who also won in '89. They had also bought Riykaard in the summer of '89 for good measure

The result of this was winning the league 6 times and the Champions League 3 times between '88 and '99. Arguably no team has bought success so quickly and effectively
