The cash register rings at the club World Cup-and the Munich sports director, Max Eberl, who has traveled back to Germany for important discussions, may hope for more freedom of maneuver for transfers for FC Bayern with any further success. Sports director Christoph Freund explained the unexpected Eberl departure as part of the 2-1 victory against the traditional Argentinian club Boca Juniors at the “DAZN” streaming service at the weekend: “There was no special reason. We were put together and divided. There are some discussions. And then it is in the European time.” There are six hours of difference between Germany and the US east coast.
Bayern’s leadership team is now required. Liverpools Luis Díaz (28) and Arsenals Gabriel Martinelli (24) have maneuvered two other offensive players on the list of possible newcomers. Helpful for the planning: Due to the prematurely secured round of 16, the German record champion has already taken the equivalent of 39.5 million euros at the tournament in the new MEGA format, including its entry fee.

In the last group game against Benfica Lisbon on Tuesday (9 p.m.) in Charlotte, in addition to first place, a further $ 2 million victory bonus (EUR 1.74 million). And then the very big jackpot rounds come. The equivalent of 11.4 million euros is available from the premium pot of the World Association FIFA for the quarter-finals filled with a total of $ 1 billion. The semi -finals brings 18.2 million euros. And in the final on July 13th at the gates of New York there is 26 million euros for the loser and even EUR 34.7 million for the club world champion. FC Bayern would collect the equivalent of a little more than 100 million euros as a tournament winner.
The financial World Cup aspect should therefore not be underestimated. Eberl also spoke to him when he was still in the USA. “We play a very important tournament for us, where you can really win something, not only reputation and a title, but also monetary,” said the 51-year-old. The sports director had left the team quarters before the Boca game to obviously drive transfers at home. Many names are traded, mainly a wing striker is urgently sought. According to the “Bild”, Liverpool’s attacker Díaz is now the focus of the Munich. The Colombian with a reds contract by 2027 is said to have already agreed with Real Madrid-but royal thinking is probably no longer to sell Rodrygo (24). This could open a door at Bayern for Díaz, it is said.
The right foot was switched from FC Porto to the Anfield Road at the beginning of 2022 for 54 million euros, has since come to 41 hits and 23 templates in 148 matches – 2024/25 there were 25 goal participations in 50 missions. According to reports, there should also be movement at the personnel Cody Gakpo (26/contract until 2028). According to the “picture”, the Martinelli personnel are also considered. The Brazilian is bound to Arsenal by 2027, delivered ten goals and six templates in 51 games in the past season. Martinelli was mostly used as a right foot as a left wing.

FC Bayern is looking for foreigners: Gittens, Williams & Barcola are traded
As a candidate, Jamie Gitten was also recently named, who is also at the club World Cup with Borussia Dortmund. The 20 -year -old Englishman allegedly preferred a return to his homeland. His desire to go to FC Chelsea has not yet come about because the BVB is supposed to request a transfer fee for the young professional for over 60 million euros.

And even if Athletic Bilbaos should strive for a change to FC Barcelona, FC Bayern obviously does not give up. According to “L’équipe”, the German champion has added a new contract offer. For the failure, Eberl & Co. found out about the conditions of a transfer from Paris Saint Germain Bradley Barcola (22), as the newspaper writes.
Williams, whose financial package Barça presents challenges, wave a net salary of EUR 10 million a year plus 2 million euros in premiums. The Spanish European champion, which is under contract by 2027, is actually not available for sale thanks to an exit clause for 60 million euros, while Barcola (bound to PSG until 2028). A transfer of the French to Säbener Straße is almost impossible. Milans Rafael Leão (26) has already been mentioned as a further alternative for Bavaria’s offensive. In contrast, in the Kaoru, which was also traded by Brighton, the Munich bosses lack the full conviction.
