FC Bayern have been preparing for the summer transfer window and President Herbert Hainer has now given an insight into the club’s plans
FC Bayern are working intensively on the squad for the coming season. While numerous names are circulating around Säbener Straße, President Herbert Hainer has now spoken to Sport BILD about the record champions‘ transfer strategy
Of particular interest was the fact that the top Berlin talent Kennet Eichhorn, who has been linked with the Munich club for weeks, was also discussed
Hainer sees the development of Lennart Karl in particular as an important signal for young players. „I am convinced that Lennart’s development is always a motivation for talented players,“ explained the Bayern president
He continued: „It used to be said that young players had no chance at Bayern. That no longer applies.“
In fact, FC Bayern is now increasingly relying on its own talents. Ten young players from the campus celebrated their professional debut this season – a new record according to Hainer: „We had ten debuts from talents from the FC Bayern campus this year, average age 17 years – both records,“ emphasized the 71-year-old
Hainer comments indirectly on Gordon
Anthony Gordon also remains a big topic at FC Bayern. The attacking player from Newcastle United is regarded internally as the preferred solution for the left wing. However, Hainer deliberately did not want to comment on specific names
„I don’t comment on names,“ the president made clear
Nevertheless, he let it be known that Bayern are continuing to keep a close eye on the market: „In general, our sporting management is sounding out the market. There are of course many candidates, both offensively and defensively.“
At the same time, Hainer made it clear that Munich are fundamentally convinced of the current squad despite potential new additions: „Overall, however, we are convinced that we have a very good squad and only need to make selective additions.“
Bayern do not want to do anything „crazy“
In recent years, FC Bayern has invested large sums in new players on several occasions
Harry Kane cost around 100 million euros in 2023, Michael Olise moved to Munich in 2024 for around 53 million euros and Luis Diaz arrived last summer for just under 70 million euros
Nevertheless, Hainer announced that Bayern would continue to act with a sense of proportion: „Of course, FC Bayern is still in a position to invest large sums of money,“ explained the president
At the same time, however, he put a clear stop to excessive demands: „But as always, we won’t go crazy – and we certainly won’t go along with what some consultants have in mind.“
