FC Bayern travels to South Korea: Eberl plans transfer talks on site

Munich (dpa) - The decision of sports director Max Eberl to travel to South Korea with FC Bayern Munich during the hottest phase of the transfer business, throws an interesting light on the facets of modern football. The possibility of operating from another continent not only shows the flexibility of football management, but also the challenge that the global football market brings.

a new approach in the transfer business

In a world that appears increasingly relative in time and space, Eberl emphasized how important it is to stay at the pulse of the event every hour. "Maybe if the others sleep in the evening and at night, I will be awake and make calls," said Eberl when the newcomer João Palhinha was presented. It becomes clear that the time shift of seven hours between South Korea and Germany was a strategic consideration. The 50-year-old sees the opportunity to perceive the entire range of negotiations from 8,500 kilometers away.

The influence of personal conversations

Eberl's trip to South Korea could prove to be crucial when it comes to speaking candidates such as Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry. Since FC Bayern Munich has to concentrate on revenues from player exits after the recent purchases of Palhinha, Michael Olise and Hiroki Ito, the possibility of having conversations on site is of great importance. The presence on site could increase the success of the negotiation and the kick-off for creating a balanced team.

effects on preparation

The trip not only offers the opportunity to control transfer transactions, but also to observe the training under the new coach Vincent Kompany. Eberl is aware that the direct tension and the team spirit are best noticeable on site. "I want to see the training sessions and feel the first mood when the squad is largely together," said Eberl. In addition, the friendly against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday will serve as the first analysis of the team and its developments.

The brevity of the trip

Despite the important tasks that are imminent, Eberl has made it clear that the trip to South Korea will be shorter than originally planned because a planned detour to China does not take place. The team has only reserved for this market tour for four to five days. Much of the squad is missing due to vacation activities after many players have participated in the European Championship or are employed with individual training plans.

A change takes place

The absence, and the lack of key players such as Leroy Sané and the injured Hiroki Ito, illustrate the challenges that FC Bayern Munich is facing. These changes within the team are part of a larger process that reflects the club's strategy in the transfer business and stands out the need to concentrate on new conditions and players.

The journey to South Korea will not only be a trip for sporting purposes, but also a strategic step to navigate a successful course in the transfer business.
