Explosive report: Hoeneß comment could cost Eberl the Bayern job | OneFootball

A statement by Uli Hoeneß is causing significant unrest at FC Bayern – and according to BILD, it could even mean the end for sporting director Max Eberl.

In an interview with the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the honorary president said: “I would strongly advocate for filling up the squad with a loan player who is contracted until June 30, 2026.” This statement has far-reaching consequences: because what Hoeneß says at the record champion is generally considered a binding guideline.

For Eberl, this directive is a setback. The 51-year-old wanted to use the gaps created by the departures of Thomas Müller, Leroy Sané, Kingsley Coman, and Mathys Tel to make targeted investments once again. After the approximately 30-million transfer of Coman to Al-Nassr and the failed talks about Nick Woltemade, additional funds were even available. Eberl had probably firmly expected to be allowed to invest these resources in a real reinforcement.

Is Eberl's Bayern job in danger?

But Hoeneß’s clear line disrupts these plans. Above all, a transfer of Christopher Nkunku threatens to fall through completely. Chelsea only wants to sell the offensive player – for around 50 million euros. However, since Bayern is only allowed to pursue a loan model, RB Leipzig could now ironically become the beneficiary and bring the Frenchman back.

Eberl's previous transfer record is also under scrutiny in this light. Luis Diaz came for 67.5 million euros, which could total 75 million euros. Additionally, Jonathan Tah and talent Tom Bischof were brought in. On the other hand, the club lost several key players. Whether this course aligns with the Hoeneß camp's expectations must now be questioned.

Therefore, BILD assesses the situation as particularly explosive: “That’s why this one Hoeneß sentence could even cost Eberl his job in the end!” the report states.
