Bayern Munich Still in Pole Position for Max Eberl Despite Liverpool Interest

Max Eberl has been in the headlines since his shock departure from RB Leipzig in September. The 50-year-old was strongly linked with a move to Bayern Munich, but the move has yet to materialise. This has led to speculation that Liverpool might be potential suitors for the experienced executive.

However, This Is Anfield understands that Bayern remain the favourites in the race for Eberl, with Anfield sources playing down the chances of him arriving on Merseyside. Liverpool already have a sporting director in place, with Jorg Schmadtke still in the role despite initial reports that his appointment in May would last just three months.

Jorg Schmadtke’s Appointment at Liverpool

Schmadtke was appointed as Liverpool’s sporting director in May and has been regularly spotted in the directors’ box at Anfield so far this season. He oversaw a successful summer window in which Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch were added to Jurgen Klopp’s midfield at a cost of £145 million.

It seems likely that he will now remain in post for the January window at least, before a decision is made over his future. Schmadtke has been credited with improving Liverpool’s scouting network and helping the club to identify and sign some of the best young talent from around the world.

Max Eberl’s Career

Eberl has a wealth of experience in football administration, having held various roles at Borussia Monchengladbach since 2003. He was appointed as director of sport at RB Leipzig in 2015 and helped the club to establish themselves as one of the top teams in Germany.

He is highly regarded in the game and his knowledge of the transfer market could be a valuable asset to any club. He is also known for his ability to identify and nurture young talent, something which has been a key part of Liverpool’s success in recent years.

Conclusion

Despite reports linking him with a move to Liverpool, it appears that Bayern Munich are still in pole position to secure Max Eberl’s signature. The experienced executive could be a valuable asset to any club, but it seems that he is destined for Bavaria. Jorg Schmadtke remains in place as Liverpool’s sporting director and it seems likely that he will remain in post for the January window at least.
