Bayern Munich's director of sport Max Eberl is actively restructuring the team by parting ways with veteran players Thomas Müller and Leroy Sané, whose high salaries were deemed incompatible with their on-field contributions. While Müller has already left, Bayern's contract renewal offer for Sané was outmatched by Galatasaray. Eberl indicated that the club is focused on immediate challenges, particularly the Club World Cup, before assessing their transfer strategy to fill gaps in the attacking lineup. The situation emphasizes Bayern's need to recruit effectively in light of recent losses.
In the endless quest to reduce the wage bill at Bayern Munich, director of sport Max Eberl has finally begun his purge of the squad veterans whose earnings don't match their contributions on the pitch.
With Leroy and Thomas leaving, we'll have two fewer players in attack. We'll see what that means for our transfer plans after the Club World Cup.
...we clearly said that we wanted to do it [contract extension], but under terms that we think are right. There's this topic at FC Bayern that salary costs are too high.
After missing out on Florian Wirtz, Bayern will need to be proactive in their hunt for a world class left winger.
