Despite the not cheap contract extensions with Jamal Musiala (22), Alphonso Davies (24) and Joshua Kimmich (30), sports director Max Eberl continues to keep an eye on salary savings at FC Bayern. Eberl confirmed a plan agreed with the board and the supervisory board, which goes over two summer transfer periods on the sidelines of the Bundesliga game at Union Berlin (1-1) on the TV broadcaster “Sky”.
“We already have a plan, but the plan is not overnight,” said Eberl. He had “blatant extensions” in front of his chest. “These are players who stand for the future of Bayern Munich, you have to make a compromise.” In the end, however, you will be at the point at some point where money can be saved. “It’s not just about getting new players. It is also about having a good salary structure, ”continued Eberl.
In addition to Musiala, Davies and Kimmich, Eberl had also extended the contract with ex-national goalkeeper Manuel Neuer (38). In the summer, the contracts of Leroy Sané (29), Thomas Müller (35), Eric Dier (31) and Sven Ulreich (36) end. “When the contracts expire, you save money, we are back at the point of the salary structure. They are conversations that are still running. I won’t say much as much as with the negotiations so far, ”said Eberl.
FC Bayern dreams of Wirtz obligation
Despite the savings plan, the Munich people in advertising around Florian Wirtz (21) do not miss out an opportunity to express their appreciation for the Leverkusener. Once again, the long-time Bavaria CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge emphasized that he would like to see the international in the champion’s jersey.

“That would be a big coup for us if we succeed in convincing Wirtz and Leverkusen. He and Musiala are the image of German football and our philosophy has always been to bring the best Germans to Bayern, ”said Rummenigge in an interview with the Italian newspaper“ Corriere Della Sera ”.
Supervisory Board member Rummenigge had already publicly spoken out for a Wirtz obligation. Bavaria Honorary President Uli Hoeneß had also said recently: “If I can have a dream, I would say that Florian Wirtz has to go to Bayern.”
Rummenigge described Wirtz and Jamal Musiala (22), the two most valuable German players than the “twins of the gate”, even if the former was currently injured. “They are great talents of world football, not just German,” he added. After his inner band injury in the right ankle in the Bundesliga game against Werder Bremen (0: 2), Leverkusen will still be missing several weeks.
