Bayern Munich’s honorary president Uli Hoeneß contested a confident with Max Eberl. During a performance in the “Double Pass” of “Sport1”, the long -time club patron had recently described the current sports director as “quite sensitive” and indicated disagreements in transfer questions. When asked whether he has now talked to Eberl about it, Hoeneß now replied: “I have no reason to speak to Max at all. I believe that what I said is absolutely okay. That is the truth.”
At the end of the summer transfer phase, Hoeneß and the supervisory board of the German record champions had prohibited Eberl to buy new players, but only allowed rental deals. Shortly before the end, Bayern won Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea. Hoeneß then revealed that the rental fee was around 13 million euros and in 2026 a purchase obligation for the striker would only take 40 starting starts. “He cannot play these 40 games at all,” the 73-year-old now calculated with reference to the games in the Bundesliga, Champions League and DFB Cup.
FC Bayern’s honorary president Hoeneß just wanted to help Eberl
Hoeneß cannot understand that the processes and statements about the Jackson deal are interpreted in the publicly negative for Eberl. “I wanted to help Max because they accused him of giving him this option,” said Hoeneß before a reception of the men’s and women’s teams of FC Bayern with Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU).
“Everything I said was very helpful for him. Everything I said should help him,” repeated Hoeneß. Recently there were even rumors that Eberl could give up his job frustrated. However, Bayern quickly rejected this speculation.
Hoeneß: Maybe Eberl should have said something
“Apparently I am the greatest defender from Max. Maybe he could have said that himself. Then he would not have got a beating for this,” said the former manager as part of an appointment for the Olympic application in Munich for the summer games 2036, 2040 or 2044.
