Max Eber
German media ran posted a post to analyze the dilemma of Bayern sports director Max Eber.
In Eber's last public appearance, he seemed very annoyed: "I can't remember how many times I was told: I have to save money, I have to save money, I have to save money - and then they told me that I have to spend 80 million to 100 million euros to buy a player. This is ridiculous."
To solve this problem, Eber should sign Nick Waltermad and Louis Dias, but at the same time, the team's salary level has been significantly reduced, because the team's salary level has been out of control in recent years. But to do both, he must first successfully sell players like Gretzka, Palinia or Koeman: both long-term contracts, high salaries, and due to their recent performance, it is difficult to meet their contract requirements on other teams.
It is reported that Bayern has raised its offer to Dias to 62 million euros plus 5 million euros for floating, and Waltermad’s offer to 50 million euros for floating. But both offer have been rejected, with Liverpool and Stuttgart only likely to be willing to negotiate if they have at least €10 million extra.
After Sane, Ter and Muller leave the team one after another, and Musiara's off-season due to injury, the team urgently needs to introduce these two players, which will cost the funds that King Nan originally reserved for Werz.
Waltermad Transfer: CEO Dresen plays a key role
Waltermad
Within Bayern Club, the responsibility for the failure of Wiltz's transfer is mainly attributed to sports director Eber, so he now faces great pressure in both player sales and potential signings.
Therefore, Bayern CEO Dresen played a key role in the transfer negotiations, especially in Walter Mad's deal. This also deepened the outside world's impression that Eber's position has been marginalized. Recently, many media and many transfer experts have raised questions about the safety of his position.
Bayern Munich: Is Marcus Klesch true or false?
Marcus Clescher
"The club is not satisfied with the status quo. And as I have learned from multiple channels before, it is almost certain that the club has basically reached an agreement with Frankfurt sports director Marcus Clescher to let him take over next season." Former Bayern player Mario Basler said recently.
However, things are far from going any further. According to ran, Bayern has not yet started specific negotiations with Marcus Klescher. And almost all industry insiders believe that Klescher will never leave Frankfurt in a hasty way without advance notice and no safe transition.
But it is equally certain: If Bayern really starts looking for a new sports director, then with Klescher's outstanding performance in Frankfurt, he will be at the top of the shortlist together with Ralph Rangnick.
Eber has no worries about the position in the short term, but there are still uncertainties in the future
Heiner
Bayern Chairman Heiner recently publicly defended the sports management and expressed his support for
Heine said in an interview with Sportbild: "I think the positive side of everyone evaluating our management is often overlooked."
However, it is not clear how long the patience of the club's senior management can last. Bayern will report to evaluate Ebert’s work based on his performance throughout the summer window. Many insiders believe that the possibility of Bayern ending cooperation with it in the near future cannot be ruled out.
Eber's future may be decided by Henes
Uli-Henes
The final decision to stay or not is Bayern honorary chairman Uli-Henes. It is reported that Heness has long been dissatisfied with Eber's work and has expressed disappointment many times.
However, since it was Heness who led the way to bring Eberle to Bayern in 2024, if he proposed to fire Eberle at this time, then this will once again become the responsibility that Heness must bear after the fire of Kahn and Sally.
Therefore, even if Heness is dissatisfied with the status quo, he has to weigh it carefully.
Eber's former teammate stood up for him
Marcus Babel
Eber's former Bayern teammate Marcus Babel bluntly stated in an interview with ran that the 72-year-old Heness is "Bayern Munich's biggest trouble":
"Even if he is the honorary chairman, many people, including himself, may think that he can do whatever he wants. But I said: No, the club is above everything else."
Babel also criticized that there are obviously too many people in Bayern's top executives who only care about their own interests, so that almost all internal information can be leaked to the media.
"As I said, there is too much internal news," he said, "and it makes Eberl seem to be unable to do anything."
Therefore, many industry insiders believe that Waltermad's acceptance or rejection will play a crucial role in Eberl's evaluation. Heness is said to want to see the U21 European Cup top scorer debut in Munich, but Eber is increasingly skeptical about it because he thinks the price is too high. And just as Waltermad's whereabouts are not yet known, Eber's future has also been covered with a layer of haze.
