Eberl responds to Kimmich’s transfer plea: “I’m handling things off the pitch!”

Max Eberl has told Joshua Kimmich to leave Bayern Munich’s transfer dealings to the management.

Having missed out on the signing of Liverpool-bound Florian Wirtz, and with Leroy Sané and Thomas Müller leaving Bayern Munich on free transfers, the club is now seeking offensive reinforcements.

Ahead of the Club World Cup opener, midfield maestro Joshua Kimmich called on Bayern to strengthen their attack, saying:

“There’s a feeling that we might do something because Flo isn’t coming, Leroy is gone, and Thomas is gone.”

In response to Kimmich’s remarks following Bayern’s emphatic 10-0 victory over Auckland City, board member for sport Max Eberl made it clear that the club’s management – and not Kimmich – is responsible for transfer decisions.

“’Jo’ is on the pitch – and I’m handling things off the pitch,” Eberl emphasized.

So far, Bayern have secured two signings ahead of the 2025/26 season: central defender Jonathan Tah (from Bayer Leverkusen) and central midfielder Tom Bischof (from Hoffenheim).
