NEW DELHI: Robert Klein, CEO of Bundesliga International, revealed that two German outfits are in talks with Indian Super League (ISL) clubs during his keynote address at the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry’s (FICCI) convention on the business of football in India – GOAL 2019.
“I can tell that there are two Bundesliga clubs currently in negotiations with Indian Super League (ISL) clubs although I cannot reveal their names. I think calling India a sleeping giant is a mistake. The giant has woken,” he stated.
Klein emphasised that Bundesliga will step foot in India only with a long-term vision and plan.
“Some of the previous European clubs coming into India had a short-term vision. That is not how we (Bundesliga) like to operate. For us, it’s about the long-term vision and sustainability.”
