Wolfsburg (AP) - Football professional Maximilian Arnold from VfL Wolfsburg can understand transfer fees for coaches.
“Some people are probably wondering why all of a sudden so much money is being paid for coaches.
Others think that's okay, "said the 26-year-old of the daily newspaper" Die Welt "(Wednesday).
«Me too, for example, because coaches are valuable and work very intensively.
The pressure on them is great. "
However, he finds sums such as the recently rumored up to 30 million euros for the future Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann "crass".
He wonders who actually sets the sums.
"Who decides that a person is worth 200 million euros or 100 million euros?" Said the midfielder.
Sometimes he cannot understand that a player who has played a few good games should suddenly cost 15 to 20 million euros.
"That's not normal."
Arnold has been playing in Wolfsburg since 2009 and recently extended his contract to 2026.
"It just fits - and if you have this feeling, it's good," he said as the reason for his loyalty to the club, which is unusual nowadays.

This season, Arnold played a key role in ensuring that VfL Wolfsburg, third in the table, has a good chance of a place in the Champions League three game days before the end of the season.
Despite his strong performances, he estimates his chances of a place in the DFB squad for the EM in the summer as very low.
"I have to be realistic about it and that's why I have little hope."
