In search of a defensive reinforcement, Bayern Munich long believed they would attract Jonathan Tah, who agreed to the idea of joining Bavaria. But due to lack of time, the Munich giant was unable to finalize the transaction and meet the financial demands of the reigning German champion, who became increasingly greedy as negotiations continued for the German international (31 caps). Questioned on this subject on the sidelines of his team’s victory against Holstein Kiel (1-6) on Saturday, sporting director Max Eberl gave a behind-the-scenes look at this aborted transfer in the final moments of the summer transfer window.
“We negotiated, Bayer Leverkusen gave us a deadline and a price. We couldn’t meet either deadline. It was only 48 hours and that was too tight for us. And we didn’t generate the revenue to be able to afford it.“, the Bavarian leader said in an interview with SPORT1.
