Sports board member Max Eberl continues to work hard on the FC Bayern squad and will soon be able to tick off the first point. With Jamal Musiala (21), Alphonso Davies (24) and Manuel Neuer (38), three top performers could be kept, only at Joshua Kimmich (30) there is still a decision. However, the Munich team is confident that the DFB captain will also extend his contract. At the latest then Eberl has to turn to point two of his 18-month plan.
The focus is on the financial. Musiala rose with his signature to the top earner at FC Bayern, will receive around 25 million euros per season in the future. Davies also makes a jump up, could receive up to 20 million euros. Kimmich is also at this level and he also wants to stay there. Only a veteran Neuer, who has also received this sum per year so far, was ready to compromise. It should now have a very performance -related contract.
Nevertheless, for top players, “which make up the difference that hopefully bring us” will also take money into our hands, Eberl explained to “Amazon Prime Video”. “And Josh Kimmich is a leader, in the future, when Manuel Neuer stops at some point, will become captain of FC Bayern.” Kimmich’s contract expires at the end of the season. After a difficult season under ex-coach Thomas Tuchel, in which the national player, among other things, criticized the lack of backing, Kimmich has recovered into a leading player and long-running favorite under Vincent Kompany.
Association president Herbert Hainer was in an interview with the “Sport Bild” in the Kimmich personnel “behavior optimistic. We know how he appreciates FC Bayern, the team and the trainer. A few things have happened last season that made him superior. But now the situation is different. Of course, the process still takes time because it should be the last big contract for him, ”said the 70-year-old. “If Joshua Kimmich extends, I am sure that he will finally become a Bayern legend: with his ambition, with his will to enforce.”
For – possible – legends, one is also ready to take money into your hand. So also at Musiala, which got the most expensive deal in the history of German football. “This contract extension was a wonderful premature gift for the 125th FC Bayern – for the club and his fans: Because of Jamal, people go to the stadium. Sometimes you have the feeling that gravity does not apply to him. In addition to his sporty, unique skills, Jamal is also an incredibly likeable guy, always nice, friendly, down -to -earth. He has everything for a world star, a real personality. He can be our next world footballer, ”said Hainer.
Eberl has to reduce salary costs at FC Bayern
Due to the expensive contract extensions, Bayern sports director Eberl must keep an eye on salary costs. “At the long end we try to keep a salary structure. We also try to reduce a bit for months and a half years. This is a goal that we discussed on the board and on the supervisory board, ”revealed the 51-year-old. According to the “Sport Bild”, 15 to 20 percent should be saved. Eberl was recently reminded of this in a conversation by Hainer.
However, the view goes more into the lower salary categories. As an example, the sheet names newcomer Michael Olise (23), Josip Stanisic (24) or Aleksandar Pavlovic (20), who range between 7 million and 13 million euros in the middle merit class. Most of the professionals should frolic there in the future. Names like Leon Goretzka (30), Serge Gnabry (29), Kingsley Coman (28) or Leroy Sané (29), who no longer play such a major role in terms of sport, must be ready for corresponding losses or leave the club.
This goes hand in hand with point three in Eberl’s plan: avert a transfer stop. If the extension with Kimmich goes across the stage, the people of Munich see the squad as strong enough for the report for the coming season. Further new additions would no longer be approved. Trainer Company was inaugurated in this plan and carry it with him. For example, the long -targeted commitment of Leverkusen’s free -free defender Jonathan Tah (29) has now been off the table due to the high salary and hand money.

However, there is a loophole: Sowing Eberl and sports director Christoph Freund to achieve income through sales, the proceeds may be reinvested into new players. In addition to Goretzka, who is supposed to leave the club, Gnabry, Coman and the Bryan Zaragoza (23) awarded to CA OsaSuna are also not considered to be unsalable. If the contracts of Sané, Eric Dier (31) and Thomas Müller (35) are not extended, 44 million euros would also be saved in the salary budget.
While the signs are at a farewell at Dier, everything is still open to Sané and Müller. “Our sporting management clarifies with him: what kind of objectives do he have, what do ours look like? Then you have to decide together whether and if so, how to continue the commitment, ”said Hainer with a view of Sané and added:“ Thomas does it dependent on his fitness, on how he feels. We also want to talk to him about what he is doing when he no longer plays football because we would like to integrate him into one or two forms of FC Bayern. He has to decide for himself whether he wants this immediately or want to take a break after such a long active time. ”
If money is released, Tom Bischof (19 )’s obligation seems to be an example of the new prey scheme of Bavaria. The midfield talent comes from TSG Hoffenheim free of charge in the summer and sorts itself into the lower salary category. Bishop is supposed to fight for his chance at the record champions and put pressure on the established forces – without any guarantees. If this does not succeed, the people of Munich later still have the chance to resell him with a considerable transfer plus.
Bavaria President Hainer praises previous work from Eberl
In the next one and a half years there is a lot of work before Eberl, which should be observed closely with a view to his contract in 2027. “I generally sit down regularly with our board members for discussions, also with Jan-Christian Dreesen and Michael Diederich. In my eyes, the chairman of the supervisory board means not only to conduct supervision, but also to give advice. I try to support Max here, of course. Because we have the difficult task of asserting ourselves in competition with major clubs, donors and oligarchs, ”Hainer said to the relationship between the two and also distributed praise.
“We have rest in the club and in the sporting leadership again, which is essential. Max came to us at a time when it wasn’t easy. We finished third in the Bundesliga in the season and were looking for a coach. He quickly settled in under difficult conditions. It is now the case that FC Bayern is a different caliber than Gladbach or Leipzig with all appreciation. This only starts with public perception. With the extensions of Jamal Musiala, Manuel Neuer and Alphonso Davies as well as the transfers by Tom Bischof and Jonas Urbig, Max and Christoph Freund are driving the further development of our team. We are optimistic about the front, ”says Hainer.
