With the 2026 World Cup fast approaching and only the DFB-Pokal final still to be played, Bayern Munich's stars will soon turn their attention to North America, where several of them will have a strong chance of adding even more silverware to their collection.
The priority for Bayern in the full-back department is the right-back position. As things stand, Konrad Laimer is the only natural right-back in the squad. Josip Stanisic can do a job in this role, but he is much better on the left side of the back four. Sacha Boey left Bayern on loan in January due to a lack of game time. He is expected to leave Munich permanently in the summer.
Brentford have completed their first signing of the summer with the capture of defender Jannik Schuster from RB Salzburg for a fee in the region of £16million. Schuster is an Austria Under-21 international and has made 29 appearances for Salzburg this season, including three in the Europa League. He has signed a five-year deal at the Gtech Community Stadium and continues Brentford's policy of signing young players and developing them.
Eberl divided opinions among the fans after some dubious decisions in the summer window, but the 52-year-old has proved that most of his decisions were vindicated. Luis Diaz has been arguably one of the signings of the season in entire Europe, while the decision to not continue with Nicolas Jackson appears to be a smart one. Eberl can also a big credit for convincing Dayot Upamecano to sign a new long-term contract at Bayern earlier this year.
