Max Eberl, the new Sporting Director of the Munich giants, has been speaking about the future of one of their current stars

A race against time begins at Bayern Munich. And on three fronts. In the office, on the pitch and in the dugout. The Bavarians, who today unveiled Max Eberl as their new Sporting Director, and he is in charge of restructuring the German club, who are trailing in the Bundesliga battle to Leverkusen.
With the announcement of the departure of Thomas Tuchel on June 30, they must find a new head coach and deal with the potential departures of several key players such as Joshua Kimmich and Alphonso Davies.
In particular, the possible departure of Davies to Real Madrid has been questioned, and to Eberl directly. The question was not evaded at the press conference. "He is a player who has developed excellently on the left side thanks to his pace and character. We are in talks with his agent," began Jan-Christian Dreesen, CEO of the Bayern board of directors.
Eberl took up the baton, adding: "Jan-Christian and Christoph have had talks [with his agent, ed.] I will try to continue the conversation. No club wants to lose players for free. I have to see what the situation is like. His contract runs out in 2025."
At the Bernabeu, meanwhile, they are moving as they did with Toni Kroos in 2014. The midfielder did not renew his contract with Bayern and left for Madrid for a nominal price, particularly factoring in his performance in the following decade. HereMARCA analyzes the Bayern situation.

Looking for a new coach first
Eberl has made it clear that he has one priority on the table, and it's not Davies. Finding a new coach for 2024-25 is. "We want to find a coach that fits, including in my ideas as well. We need stars, but also young and hungry talent," he stated.
These words fit in with the already mentioned idea of Xabi Alonso. With the help of Leverkusen, he has shaken the established foundations of the German championship. And Eberl knows him well. He already tried to sign him previously for Borussia Monchengladbach back in 2021.
"The conversation (with Xabi) was impressive. At the time he said it was too soon for him. That's why he turned down the offer. But that doesn't mean any conclusions about today. I won't comment on names," he explained.
To finish, he explained Tuchel's departure: "It is an open and transparent decision. The club has been in this situation for weeks, the club has made this decision. It's not about Max Eberl, not about Jan-Christian Dreesen, not about Herbert Hainer, not about Thomas Tuchel, but about Bayern Munich. I was not involved."
