Eberl on a squad mission: FC Bayern is chasing top players for the wing!
Max Eberl, the sporting director of FC Bayern Munich, recently flew with the team to the USA to make a good impression with FC Bayern at the Club World Cup. But right at the beginning of the trip, Eberl realized that the negotiations with potential for new additions were not making any progress. In this context, initial discussions were held with consultants, but they did not bring the hoped-for progress, which led Eberl to leave the Club World Cup early and return to Germany Absolutely football reported.
In Germany, Eberl continued his efforts in squad planning. It was emphasized that a player for the left offensive should urgently be signed. Several candidates are on the list, including players like Luis Diaz, Rafael Leão and Cody Gakpo. However, there is no firm deal at this stage and discussions are continuing. Departures, such as Bryan Zaragoza's possible move to Spain, are also under discussion. It seems as if FC Bayern's communication is also causing irritation among players, which does not make the entire situation any easier, according to information from bundesliga.com.
Strategic realignment
Eberl himself said during the preparations for the Club World Cup in Orlando that they were looking for an “outstanding player” on the offensive. In this context, the interest in Florian Wirtz from Bayer 04 Leverkusen is also mentioned, although he ultimately decided to move to Liverpool. Nevertheless, Eberl emphasizes that the Munich team already has a strong squad with players like Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala, Harry Kane and Joshua Kimmich.
Eberl is optimistic about the challenges ahead. This week it will be about further optimizing the squad structure while also maintaining defensive stability. The central defense, consisting of Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, Hiroki Ito and Minjae Kim, is considered solid. A contract extension with Upamecano is also being sought.
Player overview and expectations
Squad planning for next season is taking shape. Taking the expiring contracts into account, the analysis shows that FC Bayern has a colorful mix of talent and experienced kickers. The expected squad looks promising:

|---|---|---|---|
| Jamal Musiala | 21 | June 30, 2029 | €12.00 million |
| Harry Kane | 30 | June 30, 2026 | €75.00 million |
