FC Bayern experienced a nerve -wracking transfer window and a heartbeat final with the successful commitment of Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea. For the Munich team, it was the happy ending of a summer characterized by several setbacks. The past few months have not seemed to have passed the sports director Max Eberl without a trace. At least a report by the Munich reports “tz“Then on Tuesday.
According to the report, there should be concern on the supervisory board of the German record champions that the manager could withdraw from his office. Eberl is said to have left this impression at the last meeting of the control committee at FCB. Eberl is allegedly preparing for the bosses Herbert Hainer, Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge for his end on Säbener Strasse. The “Bild” newspaper took up the report and wrote that it is aware of these rumors. It has been rumored for some time that the sports director could stop in October. According to “Sky”, Eberl plans his whereabouts at Bayern, contrary to rumors. There should be no resignation, he should resume his work after a short vacation after the transfer period, reports the Pay TV station.
Update September 3, 5:05 p.m.: Bayern CEO Dreesen has now dismissed speculation about Eberl’s future as nonsense. “A lot is written and another sow is driven through the village every day,” said Dreesen at “Sky”. “It is best not to take note of it and just ignore it. I think that a day later another headline fills the headlines a day later, and therefore sometimes it really makes sense to simply ignore such a nonsense.“
Eberl’s work was most recently difficult by the bosses savings. At the end of the transfer window, he was only allowed to borrow an offensive player and did not take a firm contract. The 51-year-old feels responsible in public and internally for crooked things, but for which he could not do anything, it formulates the “picture”.
Most recently, Eberl had downplayed the different opinions on transfer activities. “There is no thick air. There are different thoughts. One would like to do something. The other says we want to pay attention to finance. This is completely legitimate, this is Bavaria Munich. We are completely d’Ccord,” said the sports director on the sidelines of the DFB Cup game at SV Wehen Wiesbaden (3: 2) in the “ZDF”. “I am a FC Bayern employee. I got the order to look at this transfer period a bit of money.”
It was his mandate to implement it as best as possible. What he succeeded with with the Jackson personnel. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Munich-based company pay a fee of EUR 16.5 million to Chelsea-afterwards there is a purchase option of 65 million euros, which according to “Bild” information “only becomes a very high number of missions”. Part of the deal is also a participation in resale. The bottom line was that the 81.5 million euros for the 24 -year -old offensive man Jackson – a sum with which you would have had no bad cards at VfB in terms of Nick Woltemade. The 23-year-old has now switched for up to 85 million euros plus bonuses to Newcastle, but the Munich team was not ready to offer more than 60 million euros plus a share for the 1.98 meter tall attack.

FC Bayern strengthened with Jackson, Luis Díaz (Liverpool), Jonathan Tah (Leverkusen) and Tom Bischof (Hoffenheim) for a total of 88.8 million euros. There are well-known departures such as Kingsley Coman (Al-Nassr), João Palhinha (Tottenham), Leroy Sané (Galatasaray) and Thomas Müller (Vancouver)-income: EUR 95 million.
Transfer market expert and ex-Bavaria coach Jürgen Klinsmann recently praised Eberl’s work: “I can only look at it from the outside. I think it’s great how he does his job. It will always be that Uli Hoeneß and the others express her opinion, but the Max knows that and he has got to know and know what it has to do better. And for me, FC Bavaria is very clearer. National level, but also internationally in the top 4.
