Rouven Kasper Pursues Potential Move to Bayern Munich's Executive Board
Rouven Kasper, the marketing director at VfB Stuttgart, has expressed an interest in joining FC Bayern Munich's executive board, according to reports from Sky TV. However, the transfer is still under discussion and not yet confirmed [1][3][5].
The news has caused some tension between the two clubs, with Stuttgart acknowledging the potential interest in Kasper from other clubs, but denying rumours of his desire to leave [2]. Bayern's sports director, Max Eberl, has stated that the issue is currently "off the table," but negotiations are ongoing and are independent of other transfers [2].
Kasper, who has been a member of VfB Stuttgart's board since January 2022, played a significant role in the positive development of the club [8]. Prior to joining Stuttgart, he worked for FC Bayern for several years, where he oversaw the club's activities in the Asia-Pacific region [9].
The potential move comes at a time when the position of chief financial officer at Bayern Munich will become vacant at the end of September, with Michael Diederich leaving to take a leadership position at Deutsche Bank [4]. The vacancy could potentially be filled by Rouven Kasper, but as of mid-August 2025, the transfer has not been finalized, and negotiations remain in progress [1][2][3].

The Commission has also adopted a proposal for a Council Regulation on the conclusion of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, echoing Rouven Kasper's past affiliation with FC Bayern Munich, where he oversaw the club's activities in the Asia-Pacific region. With European leagues anticipating promising developments, a potential move to Bayern Munich's executive board by Kasper could hold significant implications.
