Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is considered a critic of Max Eberl within the club. There are two main points of criticism from Bayern's bosses of Eberl - it's said that he always wants to finalize transfers too quickly, resulting in overly expensive deals. Especially during last summer's transfer window, Eberl wanted to complete too many transfers, including those involving names like Xavi Simons and Jamie Gittens, which the supervisory board didn't like and which weren't financially approved. One of the higher-ups' wishes is that Eberl must also stand firm when it comes to salaries. During his tenure, there have been expensive contract extensions, such as those with Alexander Nübel, Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano, and Joshua Kimmich
The management feels that Eberl lacks a strong relationship of trust with the supervisory board. Eberl communicates too little regarding the implementation of his transfer and squad plans. He only approaches them once he has essentially already finalized the deals. This approach has already caused friction with the supervisory board, which must approve all transfer packages exceeding €50 million
There's also a feeling that Eberl can't handle the FC Bayern 'culture of conflict', like Hoeneß and Rummenigge used to. Instead, he takes the criticism too personally.
Hoeneß once criticized Oliver Kahn, stating that he had only called him five times during his tenure as CEO. Eberl is facing this same point of criticism, which is the pack of communication, despite the fact both live at Tegernsee 10 minutes away from each other
Whether all these disagreements can ultimately be overcome will be decided by the supervisory board at its next meeting in August. Eberl's future and a potential contract extension beyond 2027 will then be discussed
