During a press conference this Friday alongside Vincent Kompany, Max Eberl, the sporting director of Bayern Munich, gave an update on the Alphonso Davies file. “It’s no secret that we speak with the agents of players whose contracts are expiring. We have a game on Saturday, so I rule out anything happening this week. What we all agree on is that we will not approach the phase of important matches without a decision (from him, editor’s note). Everyone has an interest in us having a successful second half of the season with Bayern Munich. We try to satisfy all parties.”
He then mentioned the case of Thomas Müller, also at the end of his contract. “He is an emblematic figure of FC Bayern and he will remain so. He has experienced everything with this club. It is extremely important to us. Discussions with Thomas will certainly be very short. There will be no long negotiations. The question is simply: ‘Hey, do you want to continue or not? And how do your plans look?'” But that’s still a long way off.” Finally, he spoke about young players, like Mathys Tel. “Playing time is extremely important. Maybe in January there will be an opportunity to find a suitable loan for one or two players. In the case of Mathys, he is in our plans for the whole season. We had discussions with him and his agent. The attacking team is well equipped, but not too deep. If we lend it without replacing it, we will have problems. Mathys got involved with us. He said he wanted to stay and perform.” The message is clear!
