Borussia Dortmund midfielder Nuri Sahin says that clubs in Germany would need€500 million to challenge leaders Bayern Munich for the title.
Bayern have won three Bundesliga titles in a row and sit eight points ahead of second placed Dortmund at the halfway stage.

And Dortmund star Sahin believes it would take a lot of money to make the league more competitive, like the Premier League.

“A lot of people, including Jose Mourinho, seem to think the Bundesliga is boring, but I think the Bundesliga is a good league,” Sahin told kicker.

“What it would take for a team to close the gap with Bayern? Give me€500m and I will build a team to challenge Bayern.

“The English league has plenty of depth, but give the Bundesliga a load of money and we would build some league as well. All the players would come to the Bundesliga then.
