Scapegoat at Bayern? How Eberl is shaping his future | OneFootball

Bayern's Sporting Director Max Eberl has often been criticized in recent months. Now the 51-year-old has apparently made a decision about his future. Is Eberl leaving FCB?

Bayern recorded 17 departures in the transfer summer of 2025, but Max Eberl was only able to bring four players to Säbener Straße. Due to the thin squad, the Munich officials were repeatedly criticized. The first rumors emerged that Eberl could leave the club. Now he has apparently clarified his future.

Sky reports that Eberl plans to stay at FC Bayern. According to them, there are currently no thoughts of resignation from the sporting director of the German record champions. Now Eberl has a few days off before he resumes his work.

Eberl apparently views the Supervisory Board critically

According to a report by Bild, supervisory board members Herbert Hainer, Uli Hoeneß, and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge had the impression that Eberl was preparing for his departure. That was the impression he conveyed at the supervisory board meeting.

According to the report, there have recently been positive voices within the club about Eberl's work. From Eberl's point of view, however, it was the supervisory board that made his work difficult with the imposed austerity measures and the requirement to only make loans at the end of the transfer period. Eberl reportedly feels publicly and internally responsible for things that he believes he has little or no influence on.

Eberl will therefore likely remain with Bayern for the time being. After his vacation, contract talks with center-back Dayot Upamecano are expected to be at the top of the list. The contract of the French national player expires in 2026. So far, the talks have reportedly been difficult according to media reports.
