Deadline day madness at Bayern? Eberl puts his foot down | OneFootball

FC Bayern still has three days left to finalize its squad for the 2025/26 season. In addition to Nicolas Jackson, another attacking player could even arrive before the deadline day.

The summer transfer window in the Bundesliga closes on Monday evening at exactly 8 p.m. By then, sporting director Max Eberl must wrap up all ongoing negotiations. The 51-year-old recently promised that the Munich club would “go full throttle” in the final stretch.

Jackson deal close to completion

At the top of the list is Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea FC. Everything has already been settled with the 24-year-old attacking player, and talks between the clubs are in the final stages. Much suggests that Bayern will secure the Senegalese on loan, possibly with a purchase option. Jackson is considered an all-rounder for the attack, but is primarily planned as a backup for goal scorer Harry Kane.

Interesting: According to Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg, it’s not out of the question that Bayern could sign a second attacker—this time for the wings. “I believe in this transfer, and I even believe that Bayern—if there’s any way to make it happen—could still bring in someone for the wing,” the insider explained.

Plettenberg didn’t mention any specific names, but one thing is clear: there won’t be a spectacular blockbuster deal on deadline day. The supervisory board has set the direction—new players may only be signed on loan.

Bayern keeping eyes and ears open

Eberl and sporting director Christoph Freund have repeatedly emphasized recently that they will “keep their eyes and ears open until the end.” Given the thinly staffed squad, an additional winger could be an important step to give coach Vincent Kompany more flexibility.

Whether Munich manages to land a second attacking player alongside Jackson within the last 72 hours remains to be seen.
