Uli Hoeness, honorary president of Bayern Munich, reveals behind-the-scenes details on the potential acquisition of Nicolas Jackson, criticizing the extravagant spending in the Premier League.

Uli Hoeness, a member of the Bayern Munich board, recently gave an interview to Sport-1, where he addressed various topics related to the transfer market. Among them, he discussed the issue of Nicolas Jackson, stating: “The player and his agents contributed 3 million euros, so we paid 13.5 million for the loan. There will be no permanent acquisition. That would only happen if he played 40 matches as a starter, and that won’t happen.”

Hoeness also expressed his satisfaction with the summer transfer window, stating: “We are very satisfied, we are the real winners of the summer window. We have a strong team, we didn’t need to strengthen it further. We would have liked to sign Wirtz, but we would never have paid 150 million. What Newcastle did has nothing to do with football, at most with Monopoly.”

The honorary president of Bayern announced that in winter, Bayern will have three players available, calling them “new signings”: “Don’t forget that in January we will have ‘new signings’ returning like Musiala, Davies, and Ito.”

“Goodbye, sports director Eberl? Just speculations”

Responding to rumors of the departure of sports director Eberl, Uli Hoeness stated: “They are rumors, speculations. The board has no problem with Eberl. If he thinks of resigning, you should ask him. I feel that all components of the club work together. And there are no signings by Eberl, Hoeness, or Rummenigge. They are all Bayern signings.”

He also commented on the dismissal of Erik ten Hag at Bayer Leverkusen: “In the summer, they changed half the team, I must say I am surprised to see the coach fired after two matches. They should have considered it better.”
