FC bayern are currently plagued by serious injury concerns – including in goal.But Max Eberl doesn’t see this as a reason for new signings.
In particular, the loss of goalkeeper Neuer, who will be out at least until the end of the year with a broken rib, exacerbates the situation between the posts, because substitute goalkeeper Sven Ulreich is also not available to the Munich team for personal reasons. With Daniel Peretz,coach Vincent Kompany currently only has one goalkeeper from the nominal professional squad available. Young players have to help out on the bench.
bayern’s sports director Max Eberl still sees no reason to sign another keeper in the winter. “We have an outstanding representative in Daniel Peretz,” said Eberl before the Champions League game against Shakhtar Donetsk. The Israeli played a very good game in the cup game against Leverkusen (0-1),when he was substituted on against Neuer after the red card,and also played well against Heidenheim.“Now he has the Champions League stage to prove himself again today. He also played outstandingly in his international matches against Belgium and France for Israel, so we have no worries about that,” continued Eberl.
“Manu will come back. So yes, a rib on the goalkeeper is stupid, but Manu is still one of the best goalkeepers in the world and that’s why we have no need for that,” the sports director made clear.
Eberl sees no need to catch up. Bayern have had an intense first half of the season with a running style of play. “We are the team in Europe that has the highest pressing value, which means we win the ball back the quickest. That has to do with running,” he explained.
“We now have to pay a bit of tribute, some players are slightly battered and injured. The more serious injuries happen in football,” said the 51-year-old. The aim now is to make the remaining games as accomplished as possible before the winter break “and then get the other boys healthy again during the winter break.”
He himself does not see his role as sports director as a burden, even in the current phase in which he has to conduct contract negotiations with numerous players such as Jamal Musiala, leroy Sané and Joshua Kimmich. “To be able to shape Bayern Munich is pure pleasure. To be able to help shape the biggest club in Germany, one of the biggest clubs in Europe and in the world, I think anyone who doesn’t feel like it is in the wrong place,” said Eberl . “of course it’s also pressure, I wouldn’t say burden, but it’s also pressure.” The contract negotiations were very clear, even if no news was expected until Christmas, he revealed.
How might Bayern Munich’s winter transfer activities affect their rivals in the Bundesliga?

Expert: Thank you for having me! I’m excited to delve into this topic.
Editor: Let’s start with Eberl’s announcement. What can you tell us about its meaning for Bayern Munich and the Bundesliga at large?
Expert: Eberl’s announcement comes at a pivotal time in the season. Bayern Munich is always under pressure to not only perform but also strengthen their squad, especially with the winter transfer window approaching. His decision could signal a shift in the team’s strategy for the second half of the season.
Editor: Absolutely, and what specific areas do you think Bayern may focus on in this transfer period?
Expert: There are a couple of areas that seem to require reinforcement. Firstly, Bayern has struggled with consistency in their defense. If Eberl decides to bring in a robust center-back, it could help solidify their backline. Additionally, with their attacking players often facing injuries, a versatile forward could provide essential depth and competition for places.
Editor: That makes a lot of sense. With the Bundesliga becoming increasingly competitive, how do you think bayern’s transfer decisions will impact their title race with rivals?

If they can secure high-caliber players during the winter transfer window, it could not only bolster their chances for this season but also send a message to their rivals about their intent to maintain their status as the top club in Germany.
Editor: Speaking of rivals, how do you think other clubs in the Bundesliga will react to bayern’s potential moves?
