"Let us revisit what happened in the summer transfer window. Thomas Muller and Leroy Sane left the club as free agents, while Kingsley Coman and Mathys Tel were sold to Al-Nassr and Tottenham Hotspur respectively. Bayern were reportedly linked with moves for Florian Wirtz, Nico Williams, Nick Woltemade, Cody Gakpo, Gabriele Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, Bradley Barcola, Jamie Gittens, among others. Still, they were left with disappointment for the most part."
"Around that time, Bayern identified Diaz as an option and agreed to pay a premium fee of around £58m (€67m) plus bonuses. Eberl came under heavy criticism as fans expressed doubts about whether the club made the right decision in paying such a high transfer fee for a winger who will turn 30 in two years. Many feared that Bayern had made the same mistake as they did with signing Sadio Mane from Liverpool."
Bayern Munich drew 2-2 away to Union Berlin, dropping points for the first time this season. The team appeared pedestrian and lacked imagination at times, particularly in the second half, possibly due to fatigue after an energy-sapping 2-1 midweek win over PSG that included playing an entire half with ten men. Bayern still produced moments of exceptional quality, notably Luis Diaz scoring one of the league's best goals. Several departures and failed high-profile signings in the summer sparked fan frustration and heavy criticism of Max Eberl. Bayern paid around £58m plus bonuses for Diaz, who quickly became a fan favourite with multiple goals and assists.
