The Bavarians want to secure at least one loan deal in the final days of the transfer summer. FCB President Herbert Hainer has now explained why the Munich team made this decision.
In recent days, the topic has been a major issue at FC Bayern: The Munich officials, including Max Eberl and Christoph Freund, have been instructed by the FCB supervisory board to only pursue loan deals for the remainder of the transfer summer. Uli Hoeneß publicly explained this, and Max Eberl responded with a hint of irony during the matchday press conference on Friday.
During a press roundtable for the contract extension with jersey sponsor Telekom, the president of the record champion, Herbert Hainer, spoke about the latest developments.
Regarding the supervisory board's decision to only loan and not buy permanently, he said: "Quite simply: because we are also cautious businessmen. We want to achieve maximum sporting success. But FC Bayern is also known for being extremely stable economically."
Hainer continued: "We believe that we can cover it well with the loan player. That's what we also agreed upon in the supervisory board. We have a very, very strong team." Who will specifically join the team at the Isar River is currently unclear. According to Sky, Jadon Sancho from Manchester United is said to be a topic of discussion for the German champion.
PSG's transfer candidate Marco Asensio could also be a possible alternative for the Munich team. The players being discussed are all offensive players. After the departures of Thomas Müller, Leroy Sané, Mathys Tel, and Kingsley Coman, the Munich team is thin in the offense.
Only Luis Diaz has reinforced the Bayern team in return. Harry Kane has already publicly stated that they are currently "thinly staffed".
