Bayern Munich’s executive for sport, Max Eberl is one of the busiest men in the club’s office in Säbener Straße, The transfer window is a hectic period for the managements of footballing clubs around the world and the case is no different for Bayern.
The Nick Woltemade transfer has taken centre stage and become the primary target of transfer discussions and analysis by fans and pundits alike. However, Eberl feels that it hampers the conduct and flow of a football negotiation.
Max Eberl recently gave his perspective on the negotiations( as captured by @iMiaSanMia). He said, “The problem these days is that we can’t consider our ideas, hold talks and try to negotiate in calm. Everyone always has something to say. That makes finding a solution in negotiations difficult. The entire world now knows that we’re considering Nick Woltemade, it’s no longer a secret. With everything being said around it, I don’t know what will happen now. We’ll try to find a solution, and if we couldn’t, then it’s a pity. I don’t think Stuttgart want to rip us off. Our relationship is way too good for that. We’ll try to go into negotiations neutrally and objectively. On the one hand, there’s a player you like. On the other hand, there’s a budget you have to stick to.”
Calculated move to replace the outgoing talent
Bayern is short on attacking options with the departures of Leroy Sané, Thomas Müller, Mathys Tel, and Bryan Zaragoza .On the question whether Woltemade was sufficient to replace the outgoing attacking pool or if Bayern are still on the hunt for a left winger, Eberl gave a cheeky answer. He replied, “The planning is ongoing. But the calculation is simple. maths help, even in football.”
Bayern Munich is still plowing through names to play wing, so let’s focus on those — plus a discussion on Max Eberl’s statements on Kim Min-jae and João Palhinha. Let’s talk about all of that and more on the Bavarian Football Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:
- Real Madrid youngster Rodrygo could be the latest winger on Bayern Munich’s radar. The Brazilian would probably cost a fortune, but could the answer to Bayern’s problems at wing. Is it possible for Bayern to outbid Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal FC, and Liverpool FC for the potential superstar?
- If not Rodrygo, should Bayern Munich take a look at RB Leipzig attacker Xavi Simons?
- Is Bayern Munich serious about selling João Palhinha and Kim Min-jae? If so, what does that mean for roster moves this summer? RB Leipzig’s Castello Lukeba has been mentioned as a defensive replacement for Min-jae, but Bayern Munich could just not replace Palhinha. Is that smart?
