Hoeneß’s TV Interview Exposes Bayern Rifts, Increases Pressure on Eberl

The disclosures raised concerns over Bayern’s transfer confidentiality, fueling governance questions.

Overview

  • On SPORT1’s Doppelpass, Uli Hoeneß criticized sporting director Max Eberl as "quite sensitive" and urged him to share responsibilities more broadly.
  • Hoeneß publicly revealed details of Nicolas Jackson’s deal, saying the player and his agent covered €3 million of the loan fee and that 40 starts would trigger a €65 million obligation he expects Jackson will not reach.
  • Frankfurter Rundschau’s analysis argued the on-air revelations undermine Bayern’s image of unity and weaken the club’s negotiating position in the market.
  • SPORT1 pundit Mario Basler said he believes Eberl could resign in winter or after the season and claimed talks with Markus Krösche are very advanced.
  • Commentator Marcel Reif criticized the performance, saying Hoeneß remains the dominant power at Bayern and that public advice to Eberl reflects poorly on the club’s stability.
