Farke Affirms Club’s Financial Health and Focus Ahead of Transfer Window

Daniel Farke offered additional remarks during his press conference in anticipation of the upcoming weekend’s match against Oxford United. When questioned about his awareness of potential interest in his players before the transfer window opens, Farke stated: “Even when there is interest, we have calmed everything down.” He underscored the current critical period, adding: “We are in such a crucial period, and we want all our players to focus on us right now. We want the whole squad to be focused on these next five games. After 4 January, there will be an FA Cup weekend and then we can speak about everything else if we do something in January. Until then, there won’t be any decisions and we just want to focus on winning as many games as possible.” Farke also asserted that he is not under pressure to sell players in January to address the club’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) situation. He remarked: “I don’t think we need to earn any more money. We earned more money than any club in Western Europe. It’s important for us to be sustainable after some difficult years in terms of spending. You have to stick to the rules and there is a moment when you have to sell some players after perhaps over-spending. It was beneficial for the long-term picture. We had to rebuild but overall, I think it was beneficial. We are a healthy club right now and so no pressure to do anything. We can’t spend a fortune but there is no need to do anything in terms of earning more money.”
