""Christoph (Freund), Vincent (Kompany), and I had an idea for a player we could sign if Coman left. However, it was then decided that we would no longer buy players, but only loan them. But that wasn't a battle between the supervisory board and the sporting management. It was a completely objective decision, which we ultimately supported," Eberl told 11Freunde (as captured by @ iMiaSanMia)."
"Who was the player? Eberl did not reveal his plan, but we do know that he was very interested in former RB Leipzig Xavi Simons, who ultimately moved on to Tottenham Hotspur. Versatile and attacking-minded, Simons was considered to be a good fit in Kompany's attack, but the Bayern Munich supervisory board was done with buying players before Eberl could put his plan in motion."
Bayern planned to use the transfer fee from Kingsley Coman to sign another player but an internal mandate halted permanent acquisitions and allowed only loans. Sporting management had identified a potential target and showed strong interest in former RB Leipzig attacker Xavi Simons, who was viewed as versatile, attack-minded, and a fit for Vincent Kompany's offense. Simons ultimately moved to Tottenham Hotspur. The supervisory board's no-buy stance prevented the planned signing. The policy was described as an objective decision and received support from the sporting management.
