Breaking Down Bayern Munich's Transfer Strategy: Star Keepers and Secret Signings
Disgruntlement of Eberl concerning the World Cup: desired acquisitions and transfer pressure - Discontentment of Eberl at the World Cup:
Max Eberl, the sporting director of FC Bayern, is keeping his eyes on the Club World Cup in the USA, but his focus doesn't stop there. The transfer market, particularly in Europe, continues to be a top priority.
Eberl's got some work cut out for the upcoming season, and rumors about potential departures or new acquisitions are ever-present. With the transfer window still open until September 1st, he's keeping his fingers crossed for some moves before then.
At a press conference following the opening match in Cincinnati, Eberl admitted that there's potential for change. "What's the date, and how long is the transfer window still open? Until September 1st. A lot can happen until then."
Key players like Kingsley Coman, Minjae Kim, Sacha Boey, Serge Gnabry, and Joao Palhinha have been circulating in transfer rumors. These players could leave, which would ease financial pressures for Bayern.
To date, Eberl has only secured the services of national players Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen) and Tom Bischof (TSG Hoffenheim) without a transfer fee. Both players are at the World Cup. Meanwhile, three attackers have moved on: Thomas Muller, Leroy Sane, and most recently, Mathys Tel (20), who was sold permanently for around 35 million to Tottenham Hotspur in London following a loan spell.
Turmoil on the buying side in attack persists. Eberl admitted early on that reinforcements were needed, and both he and Sports Director Christoph Freund have confirmed that the club aims to increase quality in this department. Joshua Kimmich, who expressed a similar view, received a reprimand from Eberl: "Jo is on the pitch - and I'm doing it off the pitch."
Sacha Boey, who's often the third-choice right-back, has shown potential as a scorer, making his presence felt during the 10-0 win against Auckland City. Coman, who's been with the club since 2015, has been a subject of transfer rumors, but his injury-prone status complicates matters. Eberl and coach Vincent Kompany have praised Coman, however, indicating that the club values his contributions.
Coman's most vital goal came in the 2020 Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain, and Kompany believes he's an invaluable asset if he stays fit. "If he stays fit, we have a top winger," said Kompany.
Transfer questions could potentially be resolved on the pitch. Players like Boey and Coman have shown their worth, and while contract negotiations are always complex, Eberl and the club will continue to work diligently to strengthen Bayern for the coming season.
