Loan on the cards? Eberl jokes about the Woltemade saga | OneFootball

Transfers yes - but only on loan: Despite some departures, FC Bayern has strict guidelines. An ironic comment from Max Eberl sums up the tense situation.

After Kingsley Coman's departure, the sports management team around Max Eberl had expected a new signing. But the supervisory board pulled the emergency brake. According to the Süddeutsche Zeitung, only loan players can be signed - a decision that honorary president Uli Hoeneß publicly supported: "I would strongly recommend supplementing the squad with a loan player who is under contract until June 30, 2026."

With regard to the likely failed transfer of Nick Woltemade, Eberl couldn't resist a dig. At the press conference before the Bundesliga opener against Leipzig, he said: "So much was talked about during the transfer window. The current status is that the topic is off the table. No idea what will happen by September 1." And then - with a laugh: "Maybe Stuttgart will lend him to us. We can loan him. Maybe we'll get creative." 😊

Rejection from Stuttgart - but Bayern still hopes

The name Woltemade has been on Bayern's mind for a while. Already in the weeks before the Supercup, contacts intensified - and the interest was also made public. After the 2-1 defeat against FC Bayern, the VfB officials declared the matter closed. CEO Alexander Wehrle spoke of a "100 percent done deal", sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth emphasized: "Everyone knows that the topic is off the table for this summer."

On Säbener Straße, it sounds more cautious. Despite the clear signals from Stuttgart, sports director Christoph Freund expressed himself surprisingly openly and referred to the ongoing transfer period. The fact that Eberl now added an ironic side blow himself shows: The chapter in Munich is not yet completely closed.
