🎙️ Because of rising star Karl? Why Salah isn’t on Bayern’s radar | OneFootball

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah may not be influencing the current Champions League matchday with his play, but he is certainly making headlines these days – due to his explosive interview over the weekend in which he criticized his club and coach, and his subsequent suspension from the Reds squad for today's game against Inter Milan.

Bayern boss Max Eberl commented before the kickoff of today's match between Munich and Sporting Lisbon on whether Salah could be a topic at FC Bayern – now that much, though not all, points to a winter transfer for the Egyptian.

TV expert Sami Khedira explained beforehand on the 'DAZN' microphone that he considered such a transfer to be of little sense. "FC Bayern always scouts the market, but the team is homogeneous, hungry, and possesses a strong team spirit."

The former professional then listed the numerous offensive stars of Bayern, pointed to the record champion's savings plans, and especially to rising star Lennart Karl, who would likely be overshadowed by a superstar like Salah.

Eberl agreed: "We have an outstanding talent in Lennart Karl – and putting someone ahead of him again would make no sense."

He further stated that he hadn't followed the Salah situation in detail and emphasized that Salah and FC Liverpool "have had a fantastic journey together" – though he wasn't sure if he should already be speaking in the past tense. "How it goes from here is honestly – thank God – not my problem," Eberl concluded.

Incidentally, shooting star Karl is in the starting lineup for the FCB's CL duel against Sporting Lisbon, which is starting at this very moment.
