German daily Bild reports that Allianz who already have the naming rights of the Allianz Arena for next 17 years will pay a whopping €110 million to become the third highest shareholders at the club.

Previously Adidas and Audi were the other two shareholders with both having 9.1% shares in Bayern’s Aktiengesellschaft stock company which operates the football club. With this new investment the shares of Bayern Munich e.V, the registered club has now declined to 73.47%.

Club CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was earlier quoted as saying all the investment will be used to improve infrastructure and not the players.

“We don’t need money for transfers. We will not buy a Messi. We will invest in the infrastructure, in stones, not in bones.”
