In France, several teams have decided to set up lofts for players deemed undesirable. This is the case at OL or OM. But among our European neighbors, some clubs are against this practice. This is the case at Bayern Munich. Questioned by ImageMax Eberl, the Bavarians’ sporting director, indicated that Leon Goretzka (29 years old), although pushed towards the exit, will not be sidelined.
“At Bayern Munich, there is no second training group. Leon is a great player and he played well today (in the friendly, editor’s note). If he stays, he will be a full member of our team. We have never spoken badly about Leon. He has done great things for FC Bayern. This is a completely normal situation in football. Leon is a full member of the team, no matter what some people say. We do not say anything else. We have simply said or implied that it could be difficult.” The message got through.
