Bayern's supervisory board meeting set for late August, Eberl to be cast under spotlight
On August 25, Bayern Munich's supervisory board will hold its quarterly meeting, just a few days before the closure of the transfer window.
Abendzeitung reports that the meeting will either discuss potential last-minute transfers, which is never the desired scenario, or will assess the window.
Regardless, Max Eberl will be in the spotlight and he must deliver results in the next six weeks; his future at the club depends on that.
Finalizing deals for Nick Woltemade and Luis Díaz will be crucial for him. Uli Hoeneß, in particular, wants to see Woltemade at Bayern.
After failing with two bids thus far, Bayern are planning to submit a third, which is likely to exceed €60million all-in.
As is always the case with major transfers of this magnitude, CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen is also involved.
Dreesen enjoys a very good reputation in the industry as a negotiating partner and his task is to strike balance between sporting reinforcements and economic stability.
Eberl, on the other hand, has a close relationship with Stuttgart's sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth, but that didn't help a lot in bringing about a rapprochement between the two clubs.
The situation is very similar for Luis Díaz. The player is open to the move, but Liverpool are demanding more money.
Bayern will have to up their bid. The transfers of Woltemade and Díaz will likely cost a total of around €150million in the end.
Therefore with this magnitude, the 'big bosses' in Bayern's management are involved – especially when things stall.
