Barcelona had strong support from state as well, until Catalonia referendum, than support was limited and they slowly slided into financial troubles which culminated recently.
As for Bayern, I don't know their main honeypot, but I noticed that they save a lot of money on domestic transfers, because they "own" league and everyone wants to play for Bayern. Their main rival Dortmund lost players (even best players) for free, because they wanted Bayern and refused to sign new deals. It's became their tactics, they just give signals they're interested and target go into "waiting for Bayern" mode. They either buy him for peanuts during last year of contract or take him for free next year.
Thank you.
