Overview
- Saudi outlet Arriyadiyah, echoed by Yahoo Sports and Goal, reported that Al-Ittihad held talks with Max Eberl about leading its sporting project before the conversations stalled over vision and strategy.
- Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg disputed those reports and said Eberl had no talks with Al-Ittihad and remains focused on Bayern with an eye on extending his stay beyond 2027.
- Eberl recently told DAZN that he wants his work judged at Bayern and that he is ready to stay longer if the club views his performance positively.
- Goal, citing kicker, reported that Bayern’s supervisory board plans a late‑May review of the management team that includes Eberl’s position.
- Yahoo Sports, citing Tz, reported Bayern aims for targeted, lower‑cost signings rather than one big purchase, a plan that could favor depth pieces like a left‑wing backup and a right‑back as internal critics question Eberl’s toughness in talks.
