Eberl's transfer puzzle: Who will replace Sané and Müller at FC Bayern?

Max Eberl, FC Bayern Munich's sporting director, is facing a challenging time after the departures of Leroy Sané to Galatasaray Istanbul and Thomas Müller left several gaps in the team. This is a clear wake-up call for the Munich team, who are now being urged to rethink their transfer strategies and refresh the squad accordingly. Regarding the sale of Sané, it is clear that Eberl does not want to waste any time. He sees a need for action in the negotiations for a replacement player; after all, the team now lacks the necessary offensive personnel to achieve its sporting goals, he emphasizes. mainpost.de reports that Eberl plans to work on transfers in the background during the Club World Cup, which starts on Sunday against Auckland City.

Another setback for Bayern was the missed signing of Florian Wirtz, who is now moving to Liverpool FC. This is a serious loss as Eberl had relied heavily on Wirtz to make up for dwindling offensive forces. Despite these challenges, the sports director is optimistic that the squad planning can be completed in time to be well positioned for the coming season.

Contract discussions and sales plans

While the departures are causing unrest, there are internal considerations about the future of Dayot Upamecano, whose contract is about to expire. Discussions about a possible extension are already underway. The future of Bryan Zaragoza, who was recently on loan at CA Osasuna, could also play a role in the transfer process. The player could potentially be transferred, which could further strengthen or reshape the team.

Another player in focus is Sacha Boey, who was only signed by Galatasaray in January 2024 for 30 million euros. The centre-back remains a candidate for sale should the opportunity arise. Discussions about a fixed transfer of Mathys Tel to Tottenham Hotspur are also in full swing. Meanwhile, Kingsley Coman is also showing loyalty and will stay at FC Bayern until the World Cup in the USA, where his contract runs until 2027.

New additions and squad restructuring

Amid these plans, Eberl has already made progress by signing Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen and Tom Bischof from TSG Hoffenheim on free transfers. These transfers could give the squad a breath of fresh air and strengthen the team's defensive stability. The coming weeks will be crucial in finding the right players to fill the gaps left by the departures.

With all of these changes, it will be exciting to see how the situation around FC Bayern Munich will develop and which players can ultimately be signed for next season. Eberl is confident that despite the difficulties, the finances are under control and the team is ready to put in a strong performance.
