Eberl Focuses on Internal Transfer Before Talking about Vuskovic

FC Bayern Munich’s sports director, Max Eberl, has prioritized resolving the contract extension of Dayot Upamecano before discussing any other signings.

“First of all, we’ll resolve our internal transfer. And once that’s resolved, we’ll have a central defense that’s relatively high quality.”

– Max Eberl, FC Bayern Munich’s sports director

Eberl mentioned the 18-year-old Luka Vuskovic, currently on loan at Hamburger SV from Tottenham Hotspur, but emphasized that the club’s focus is primarily on its internal transfers.

Bayern’s Defensive Options and Upamecano Extension

Bayern Munich has a surplus of talented defenders, including Jonathan Tah, Upamecano, and Minjae Kim, who can play both centrally and on the outside, along with Josip Stanisic and Hiroki Ito.

Eberl provided an update on Upamecano’s contract extension, stating:

“We are almost at the finish line. We are looking forward to when we can finally announce the thing.”
