From the source

Source excerpt · Bayern Strikes ↗

Bundesliga clubs and investors: It has never been a straightforward or easy relationship. For years, organisations such as the German football association have been exploring ways to strike a reasonable balance, and have never found a way to perfectly balance between club ownership and outside ownership.

Germany has long operated under the much-discussed 50+1 rule. A rule that, in practice, ensures that outside investors never gain full control over the day-to-day running of a club.

Another often-cited aim of 50+1 is to prevent the financial gap between the elite and the mid-table clubs from widening further. Bayern Munich recently struck a lucrative deal with the family-owned company Viessmann.
