Max Eberl, Bayern Munichâs board member for sport, addressed concerns about the team's defensive injuries in a press conference before the Hoffenheim match. He highlighted the challenges posed by multiple injuries to key players and focused on not rushing into signings specifically for the upcoming Club World Cup. Eberl noted the ongoing speculation in Munich that complicates decisions but emphasized the need for calmness in conducting transfer business, aiming to align future acquisitions with the club's long-term goals rather than immediate needs for the tournament.
We had so many injuries in defense this season. Alphonso Davies, Josip StaniÅ¡iÄ, Hiroki ItÅ, Upa (Dayot Upamecano), and (Kim) Min-jae were all injured. I understand the discussion, but it's impossible to assess the whole thing because our defense never really played together.
There's a lot of speculation in Munich, and everyone has their own opinion. Of course, that doesn't make things easy. With the Club World Cup, this summer is obviously special.
We want him at the Club World Cup, but we'll talk to Eric and then see if we can find a solution.
We have to ignore the speculation so we can conduct our business calmly. That's what we did with the contract extensions and we want to do the same with transfers.
