Bayern Committee Backs Max Eberl Extension as Club Presses to Sell Players

The committee’s approval signals leadership continuity while executives face a short window to move unwanted players before the transfer period ends.

Overview

  • In mid‑August the club’s five‑member presidential committee privately approved extending sporting director Max Eberl’s contract and signalled support for CEO Jan‑Christian Dreesen, with the nine‑member supervisory board set to vote on August 25.
  • Club president Herbert Hainer said he is confident Bayern will complete sales before the window closes and noted there is interest in several players, but no formal offers have yet been announced for João Palhinha, Sacha Boey or Bryan Zaragoza.
  • Bayern have already completed two major summer signings, Ismael Saibari and Nathaniel Brown, and internal discussions have reportedly shifted the club’s focus toward selling players before making any further purchases.
  • Only goalkeeper Alexander Nübel has left so far, to Besiktas, and Eberl faces continued criticism for not moving enough players or extracting higher fees from potential buyers.
  • The committee’s backing follows improved relations between Eberl and club grandees such as Uli Hoeneß and Karl‑Heinz Rummenigge, a factor that helped restore confidence in his handling of recent high‑value transfers.
