With the signing of former NBA professional Serge Ibaka, FC Bayern’s basketball players have achieved a coup. For managing director Marko Pesic, the transfer has a different dimension than that of Harry Kane with the Munich footballers. «You can’t compare Ibaka and Kane. We didn’t spend 100 million on him,” said Pesic on Wednesday in a digital media round of the Basketball Bundesliga before the start of the season next week.
«We also had a bit of luck with Ibaka. There were a few interfaces,” said Pesic. The 34-year-old and Bayern have some of the same sponsors. Ibaka’s girlfriend also lives in Europe and the power forward, who has played more than 1,000 NBA games, knows the new Bayern coach Pablo Laso.
“Overall, it is very far from the impact that the transfer of Kane had on the footballers,” said Pesic. The captain of the English national soccer team moved from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern in the summer for around 100 million euros.
