Bayern Munich executive Max Eberl was left scratching his head on why Newcastle United might have spent €90 million on former VfB Stuttgart attacker Nick Woltemade.
“I don’t know if this was a strategic transfer or a desperate move because Isak is leaving for Liverpool. What happens in the Premier League is none of our business. It’s a fact that extraordinary prices have been paid and will continue to be paid there. We’re working on our strategy — and that’s to act economically sensible and still set up the squad to be successful both domestically and internationally. That’s our job,” Eberl said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
There is no doubt that Bayern Munich was left stinging a bit from not getting Woltemade — a player the club identified as a potential successor to Harry Kane. Now, that search will start over…who can the Bavarians get to fill that void if Kane leaves in 2026?
Amid all of the transfer craziness surrounding Bayern Munich’s work with Chelsea over a loan deal for Nicolas Jackson, there was an actual game to be played — and Bayern Munich was up to the task even if a slow start and a midgame loss of focus might have given Die Fuggerstädter some hope.
