FC Bayern is considering selling the last remaining shares in its soccer corporation. Discussions with Viessmann have been ongoing for quite some time.
However, these talks have not gone quite as smoothly as expected. While there was initially great confidence that a deal would be reached, things did not progress quite as quickly as anticipated.
Specifically, the deal involves 5 percent of FC Bayern München AG, which could be sold to Max Viessmann’s company for 250 million euros.
FC Bayern: Will the Viessmann deal be announced at the annual general meeting?
Things have been quiet lately regarding this issue. Were further concrete discussions taking place behind the scenes? That seems quite realistic, because according to a report in *kicker*, Bayern wants to try to announce the deal as soon as possible.
Ideally, this would happen at the Annual General Meeting, which is scheduled for November 21 of this year. That would leave just under two months for negotiations—a timeframe that is apparently still necessary.
According to information from *kicker*, no agreement has been reached to date. Furthermore, the specific figures have not yet been discussed in detail. Nevertheless, it is quite possible that Viessmann—who is highly regarded at FCB—will reach an agreement with the club regarding an investment. In any case, interest exists on both sides.
However, a few details still need to be worked out before a final agreement can be reached. Max Viessmann himself had already spoken about the matter a few weeks ago. At the time, he said: “I’m personally a big Bayern Munich fan—that’s true. Since early 2026, I’ve been a member of the club’s Administrative Advisory Board, which, in addition to soccer, also oversees recreational sports and advises the Executive Committee. I enjoy contributing my perspective as a family business owner there.” Even at the time, that didn’t sound like a denial.
