"On one hand, Hoeneß leaked info about the Nicolas Jackson loan to make the deal look less bad than it was currently being portrayed and protect Eberl. On the other, Hoeneß called Eberl "sensitive"and suggested he took transfer discussions too personally while also openly telling Sport1's hosts that he would give Eberl the advice of trying to wrap up transfers earlier next summer."
""If there's a dispute from time to time, then it just happens. There's a 'Bavarian culture of conflict'. Uli took it to extremes with me, sometimes the doors flew off their hinges, but he always acts in the club's best interests. Our club should always be the leader domestically. And internationally, if things go well, we want to go far again.""
Sport1's Doppelpass celebrated its 30th anniversary by featuring Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeneß one week after the 2025 summer transfer window closed. Hoeneß revealed details about the Nicolas Jackson loan to contextualize the move and sought to protect sporting director Max Eberl. Hoeneß also described Eberl as "sensitive," suggested Eberl took transfer discussions personally, and advised concluding transfers earlier next summer. The remarks generated controversy and headlines. Karl‑Heinz Rummenigge defended periodic disputes as part of a 'Bavarian culture of conflict,' praised Hoeneß's club-first instincts, and reiterated Bayern's domestic and international ambitions.
