Interesting snippet in Amazon being investigated for price controls in Germany is that it is the second largest market to Amazon behind the United States.
Those Bundesliga clubs and indeed all citizens of the Federal Republic, must be salivating at the thought of the national game being bought up for billions and given away free so Amazon can sell some kits and other tat. They’ll remember that first season like the year they broke down the Wall.

Similar to an extent to the position in England, Amazon took over some rights in the previous Bundesliga deal cheaply when they weren't especially wanted (in the German case when Eurosport had bought up some games and decided to offload them).
The latest rights going forward have recently been auctioned, and Amazon have nothing going forward - Sky and DAZN have them.
