On The Continent: The Bundesliga returns, and how might the transfer market change?

Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a drill: football is coming back. Well, some of it. Without any fans.

On today’s episode of On The Continent, we celebrate the Bundesliga’s upcoming return while acknowledging the need for continued caution. We also speak to FC Union Berlin's Christian Arbeit about how their players reacted to the news and what they've been doing throughout lockdown to best prepare themselves for its return.

We also discuss some of Fabio Paratici’s recent thoughts about player salaries and how the football transfer market may change drastically in the coming seasons. The likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona will be desperate for more high-profile transfer activity akin to what we've seen in the last few years, what with their respective selections of high-earning benchwarmers.
