Bayern set for transfer decision, board meeting agenda revealed | OneFootball

At FC Bayern, a crucial meeting is scheduled for today, Monday: The supervisory board of the record champion is coming together – and the topics are explosive.

According to information from BILD, the meeting is expected to include an evaluation of the current summer transfer period as well as a discussion about the work of sports director Max Eberl and his future prospects. Additionally, the appointment of a new board member following the departure of CFO Michael Diederich will be addressed. Particularly important: A decision on the next steps in the remaining days of the transfer period is also expected to be made.

This means nothing less than the strategic direction of the club is under scrutiny. The transfer policy of the past weeks, in particular, is causing discussions. The failed deal for Nick Woltemade, the complicated negotiations for Christopher Nkunku, and the departures of key players like Thomas Müller, Leroy Sané, and Kingsley Coman raise questions. At the same time, observers criticize that Eberl has bought too expensively and sold too cheaply.

Is a last-minute reinforcement coming?

Eberl himself is particularly in focus. Honorary president Uli Hoeneß recently made it clear publicly that only loan deals are possible – a setback for the sports director, who had actually been counting on permanent transfers. Eberl's flippant reaction to this announcement reportedly caused internal irritation. Critics also point to his role in the bumpy coach search for 2024 and stalled contract talks with Joshua Kimmich.

The appearance against RB Leipzig, where Hoeneß and Eberl demonstratively shook hands, is likely just an interim step in an ongoing power struggle. It is clear: At the summit on Monday, it could be decided whether Eberl will retain the long-term trust of the club's management – or whether the criticism of his work will increase.

For Bayern fans, the main question remains: Will the thinly staffed offense be reinforced in the last days of the transfer window? This is exactly what the supervisory board is also set to discuss.
