"Your impression is related to the fact that many names were circulating but were never a topic of discussion for us. In general, I've noticed that transfer topics are treated with a lot of excitement in public these days. Some people automatically consider someone who can dribble or score a lot of goals a candidate for Bayern. Less visible factors such as running stats or injury record are almost never mentioned in the media."
"Christoph Freund and I know the market, and we discuss in close consultation with Vincent Kompany and the scouting department which players might be suitable. We determine what they would cost and whether they would like to join FC Bayern. If we want to sign someone, we discuss the details with Jan Dreesen and then present the potential transfer to the supervisory board."
Bayern Munich board member Max Eberl dismissed claims of failed transfer pursuits, explaining that many circulated names were never actual targets. He emphasized that media coverage overemphasizes visible skills like dribbling and goal-scoring while ignoring crucial factors such as running statistics and injury history. Despite an intense summer involving three injured starters and Kingsley Coman's Saudi Arabia interest, Bayern executed a clear plan, signing Tom Bischof, Jonathan Tah, and Luis Díaz. Eberl highlighted the club's structured decision-making process involving manager Vincent Kompany, the scouting department, and supervisory board oversight, demonstrating Bayern's sophisticated approach to the transfer market.
