The Kathleen Krüger matter is continuing to gain momentum: now FC Bayern have also officially confirmed that talks with HSV are taking place!

The 40-year-old could soon join the Hanseatic club as its new board member for sport, succeeding Stefan Kuntz. Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund acknowledged on Friday that there had been contact between Krüger and HSV, but otherwise remained tight-lipped.

“Yes, we can confirm that Kathleen informed us that she is holding talks with HSV,” said Freund. “I can’t say, confirm or deny anything else on the matter, but she did inform us about the talks.”

Could Krüger’s move to HSV be finalized soon?

At the same time, the 48-year-old had words of praise for the long-serving employee of the record champions. Krüger has earned her opportunity: “She is very, very highly regarded, very ambitious. She has done a top job for FC Bayern Munich for many years, in various positions, and has been able to gain a lot of experience.”

The fact that HSV are pursuing her is, in Freund’s view, a clear signal: “It is absolutely an honor that such a big club has contacted her for such a big job, a very, very nice story for Kathleen.” According to media reports, the Rothosen’s supervisory board has already given the green light.

In addition, according to the Hamburger Abendblatt, no transfer fee will be due, as Krüger has an open-ended contract at Säbener Straße. Bild also reported on Thursday that the talks with Bayern are “the last (formal) hurdle.” A decision could therefore be made soon.
