Bayern are considering whether they need a direct understudy to Kane or a more versatile forward. When asked about their next move, sporting director Max Eberl admitted that signing a like-for-like replacement for the English striker is challenging.
“That is an idea that we are planning,” he said. “The decision is not easy to make, just look at Manchester City: There, a top striker, Julian Alvarez, left the club (to Atletico Madrid) because he hardly played behind Erling Haaland. That’s why it is difficult to get a 1:1 replacement for Harry Kane, but perhaps rather someone who can be used in a variety of ways.”
Eberl also acknowledged that parting ways with Tel was a difficult but necessary decision.
“When I started here, Mathys was an important face for the future of FC Bayern for me,” he admitted. “The situation then developed differently. Sometimes you have to make such tough decisions because a development has stagnated and it is not a good fit for either side.”
