Bayern Munich are preparing to extend the contracts of Max Eberl and CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen following notable improvements in their collaboration and transfer dealings. The supervisory board is expected to give its approval on August 25, marking a significant step in the club’s front office stability.
In parallel, striker Harry Kane has reportedly given an internal agreement to remain with Bayern until 2029. Discussions on formalizing the contract are set to advance once Kane returns to Munich in the next few days, signaling the club’s intent to secure their key forward for the long term.
Player Movements and Transfer Developments
Despite Bayern’s declared transfer freeze, the club has made an inquiry into Igor Thiago, the striker from Brentford, as potential cover for Kane. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has left his future beyond 2027 open, sparking questions about his long-term plans with the Bavarian giants.
Defender Sacha Boey has caught the attention of both manager Vincent Kompany and Bayern’s staff during pre-season training. This comes despite initial indications that Boey was encouraged to seek a move elsewhere. Nonetheless, his departure is still anticipated before the transfer window closes.
Finn Jeltsch, a player from Stuttgart, has publicly stated that Bayern’s interest does not currently occupy his thoughts, with his focus firmly set on his current club. However, Bayern continue to monitor his progress closely. Additionally, Hiroki Ito remains a candidate for departure this summer, as the club evaluates its defensive options.
On the outgoing front, Bayern could benefit financially by selling Joao Palhinha, as Newcastle United has joined Aston Villa in the pursuit of the midfielder. Bayern are reportedly seeking a transfer fee in the region of €30 million. Meanwhile, Bara Sapoko Ndiaye has completed a permanent move away from the club.
